Divorce Support Forums: Help...How can I get his attorney to stop delaying

I am divorcing my husband of 21 years. My attorney has proposed two Special Matter hearings and a four way meeting. None of these has occurred. This has been going on for 6 months without a single meeting taking place.

>>>>>>>>> Is this due to scheduling conflicts or non-response ?

What options do I have? What motions can be filed on my behalf?

>>>>>>>>>>File motions for hearings on any disputed matters .

Does any party have a right to continually delay proceedings?

>>>>>>>> no , ask for reimbursed legal fees for delays , it may speed things up .

Should I find another attorney who will be more aggressive?

>>>>>>>>> depends on how far you are into the process and how long it'll take another attorney to "get up to speed " on the issues .

6 months isn't really that long for a disputed divorce , mine lasted well over 2 years .
