A: You need to fire your attorney first, and ensure the court recognizes your decision. Generally the court prefers that you have legal representation, and if you discharge your lawyer the court will generally give you time to find a new one. However, I am not a family law expert, and there may be different rules that apply in such proceedings.

If you provide a case number and court where the matter is pending, you will get a better response on a website like this.

Good luck!
