How is this handled mechanically and RP wise? Does the Paladin/Priest Character continue advancement as a paladin/Priest without the benefits of the divine or do they level in fighter? Any relevant links/threads welcome, I'm sure its been discussed before, I just didn't have much like finding them.

This is handled on a case by case, completely dependent on the circumstances. We've had one paladin be rebuilt and only allowed to keep five levels of paladin and then the rest were replaced by fighter levels (with no allowance for stat changes) for going directly against the god's dogma. We've had a cleric who fell but was scooped up by another deity nearly immediately (quest related) who was simply rebuilt with the proper domains. We've had still others that 'fell' but it was a more serene circumstance, loosing sight of their 'calling' and finding that family was more important at that time. We have had temporary 'falls' where all stayed the same and the individuals were limited in what they could call upon but eventually earned all back...
It is very much a relational situation, highly dependent upon the circumstances. The bottom line, however, is we strive to make the mechanics fit the RP at all times on these matters.

That would be the most likely scenario, depending.. Thanks Row.

That situation was pretty severe (in the realm of offenses). If you'd like a little more clarity with specific's feel free to PM your GM of choice!
