        625.24  AFFIDAVIT REQUIRED.
         The attorney's fee allowed in sections 625.22 and 625.23 shall not
      be taxed in any case unless it appears by affidavit of the attorney
      that there is not and has not been an agreement between the attorney
      and the attorney's client or any other person, express or implied,
      for any division or sharing of the fee to be taxed.  This limitation
      does not apply to a practicing attorney engaged with the attorney as
      an attorney in the cause.  The affidavit shall be filed prior to any
      attorney's fees being taxed.  When fees are taxed, they shall be only
      in favor of a regular attorney and as compensation for services
      actually rendered in the action.
