Re: Want my children
Fire your lawyer and hire another one.
If your lawyer is court-appointed, ask the lawyer to ask the judge to relieve him/her of further responsibilities and appoint a new lawyer to over the case. (The judge is not required to honor the request, so you may be stuck with the lawyer you now have.)
While you are free to hire any lawyer your want, you do not have the right pick and choose a court-appointed lawyer.
And be prepared to explain to a judge, if necessary, what it is you believe your court-appointed lawyer is not doing for you that you believe should be done. If you cannot answer that question, specifically, there would be no reason to change lawyers.
