Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania
I've had a no-fault divorce pending in Pennsylvania for nearly a year. In March, both myself and my spouse signed consent forms, but today I found out from my County's prothonotary office that my papers were never filed by my attorney. I've tried many times to contact the attorney, but can't seem to get a response. In short, I feel that my case has been abandoned halfway through the process. Assuming that I cannot track down the attorney, what recourse do I have? Can I re-file using another attorney, or since it is a simple no-fault divorce, can I just use one of the internet attorneys who offer this service? I've been stuck in limbo for months now, and it doesn't seem like it's going to get resolved.

You can hire a new lawyer, such as myself, who can pick up where the other attorney left off. You should not have to re-file anything. You may ahve to re-sign the Consents if they have not been filed yet, as they may be outdated.
