Yes, you can change divorce lawyers at any time during proceedings, though careful planning is essential.

Switching legal representation during a divorce is your right, but requires thoughtful consideration and proper steps. A smooth transition is crucial to avoid delays in your case.

• Review your current retainer agreement to understand any financial obligations
• Request a complete copy of your case file from your current lawyer
• Find and retain new counsel before formally dismissing your current lawyer
• Ensure proper notification to the court and opposing counsel
• Allow time for your new lawyer to review your case thoroughly

The transition process typically takes 2-3 weeks, during which your new lawyer will need to file a Notice of Change of Representation with the court. Remember that switching lawyers may result in additional costs and temporary delays in your proceedings.
