You can't fire your attorney. You can only ask the judge to discharge the public defender. So, it depends on whether or not the judge would be willing to continue your case, or not. If the judge does not want to continue your case, he/she can refuse your request to discharge the public defender and hire a private one.
Rule 193.3(d) is a new provision that allows a party to assert a claim of privilege to material or information produced inadvertently without intending to waive the privilege. The provision is commonly used in complex cases to reduce costs and risks in large document productions.
In a Rule 11 agreement, you and the other parent can agree about things such as how medical, psychological, and educational decisions are made. This also includes determining where your child will live and which parent will be considered the custodial parent. See Texas Family Code chapter 153.
An attorney may withdraw from representing a party only upon written motion for good cause shown.
Mandatory Withdrawal A lawyer ordinarily must decline employment if the employment will cause the lawyer to engage in conduct that the lawyer knows is illegal or that violates the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct.
A motion to dismiss must be: (a) filed within 60 days after the first pleading containing the challenged cause of action is served on the movant; (b) filed at least 21 days before the motion is heard; and (c) granted or denied within 45 days after the motion is filed.
Types of Trials in Divorce Cases Additionally, there are certain issues a jury cannot decide under Texas law. Conversely, in a bench trial, the parties present their positions and evidence to a judge, who will then rule on the issues.
In Texas, 30 days after the judge signs the Final Decree of Divorce the judges loses jurisdiction and the case is over. It cannot be re-opened. There might be a case where a large asset has not been addressed or there is a typo in the legal paperwork but generally the case is over.
A Notice of Nonsuit Without Prejudice can be filed with the court to dismiss a divorce at any point during the process, provided the divorce has not yet been completed.
