Re: attorney's obligations to timely divorce

Two years is a long time to wait. If you and your attorney had orginally intended to handle this as an 'agreed to' matter then your plan is probably going to have to change. If you had proceeded unilaterally without your husband's cooperation through the courts, your divorce could have been complete in as little as 6-7 months.

from the facts given so far, this delay is highly unreasonable under the circumstances!

there is alot that can be done to expedite this matter fairly swiftly for your own peace of mind. if you would like further legal assistance in this matter, please email me directly today with more details on your situation, especially in respect to what type of agreement you are waiting for your ex to sign, as well as why he is "stalling" in your opinion if he has agreed to the terms of the agreement, and if you are looking to replace your existing attorney. thanks for your question, and we look forward to helping you any way we can and as swiftly as possible in this matter. 2 years is entirely too long.

To be a bit more specific than the other responses:

1. Retain new counsel.

2. If you filed the petition and it was served and no Response was filed, take his default.

3. If he filed the Response, file an At Issue Memorandum for a short cause trial and get it over with.
