Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

I am going thru a divorce. I just received a letter from my attorney that "our matter has been continued for presentation of an agreed order on . . .". Does this mean that on this court date in which i need to attend, I will finally be divorced? If not, what exactly does that statement mean? My lawyer never gets back to me and I really need to know what to expect. Can someone help me, please and thank you!

Your divorce is not final until there is a trial or a prove-up. Since you stop with "on..." you do not relate what the agreed order is on. You have access to the court file to see what is going on. If your lawyer does not respond, you have a right to change lawyers to one who will respond.
