Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I sent my attorney a letter via certified mail requesting him to put my divorce on hold and to reschedule the court date. I know that they received the letter. I even spoke with his assistant attorney and she said she had received the letter and would get it handled. This was the first time I've ever requested it to be put on hold. I called today and and they said that they had not handled and would not reschedule it and told me that if I couldn't make it on the court date that I needed to come in and sign something stating that I want to cancel the divorce all together. Is this illegal since I sent him the request and I know that he had received it?

The answer to your question is probably "You're right, and your attorney is doing you wrong," but it depends on what kind of hearing you wanted to cancel.

In some divorce cases, BOTH parties have filed petitions, so that neither party (by himself) can call off the dogs.
