Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: withdrawal of counsel

The answer to your question depends on a number of factors. If you haven't paid all fees due to the lawyer, the judge will have little sympathy and let an attorney out of the case unless you are on the eve of trial.

If your attorney has submitted a motion to withdraw, you should have received a copy via fax or certified mail. If you have, and you object to the attorney withdrawing, you should submit your objections in writing to the court.

Judges may decide, at their discretion, whether to have a hearing on an attorney withdrawal. Some judges, as a matter of rule, require all such motions for withdrawal to go to a hearing. Some judges will only go to a hearing if you objected.
