Is it a legal requirement for my attorney to file a motion to withdraw the action if I terminate her services?

Answered 12 years and 6 months ago by Eric K Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   6 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
In Utah, unless you have a new attorney whom you have hired file a "notice of substitution of counsel" with the court, then your fired attorney does need to file either a notice of withdrawal of counsel or she needs to file a motion for leave to withdraw as counsel. If you have a new attorney who has filed a "notice of substitution of counsel" with the court AND who has notified your old attorney of the substitution of counsel, then your fired attorney does *not* need to file any kind of withdrawal of counsel....

What are his options for a modified order for more time/equal time to ensure son gets the attention he deserves?

Answered 12 years and 9 months ago by Jill K. Whitbeck (Unclaimed Profile)   |   7 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
You can bring a motion to modify custody and/or visitation, but you need more hard evidence than what you have stated here. The days of courts favoring women are long gone, in my opinion, with perhaps the exception of some very rural areas. I have achieved joint custody and primary custody arrangements for many of my male clients, as have other attorneys. Your best option is to consult with an attorney in your geographic area to review what evidence you have and how to go about getting more and better evidence that can be used at a hearing.
