Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina
If I request termination of my attorney's services, in an attempt to change venue for child support - the attorney has taken over 20 months and the only thing that has happened is she has filed the documents - Is it a legal requirement for her to file a motion to withdraw?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Why would you 'request' termination? Does the attorney have a choice in the matter? Anywho, even if you flat out fire your attorney, as most people would do way before 20 months expires with little to no action on a case, then the attorney should file a formal written withdraw but there is no legal requirement that I can think of. However, this is more of an ethics question. If LawGuru has an ethics section you may want to try posting the question there. There may be some ethics rules that require the filing of a formal withdraw.
