changing a lawyer in the middle of a divorce

I am in the middle of a divorce my lawyer i feel is not helping me and believe he can be hurting me. i am going to speak with another lawyer however i am due to go to court in 10 days and i dont want to go with my current lawyer.

Should I tell me current lawyer to postpone the court date for another week but if i tell him to do that i am not sure what to why i want to postpone. I know we still need to fill out and file more information, if i hire the new lawyer would this new lawyer be able to come with me to court of do i have to go to court by myself and request new attorney. I am very very confused going through a divorce is hard enough and not having the right lawyer behind you is very scary. please let me know how to do this
