More details to this question:
My attorney told me he was going to file a motion to withdraw from my case because I cussed at him. I found out that my hearing was continued another month because my attorney had something else scheduled, didn’t find out until the day before the hearing and I found out from my soon to ex. In the phone call that I made to my attorney, I was upset at the continuance; I used profanity, which he has used in our conversations many times. So now he said he will file the motion, I am all up to date on my payments, $12,000.00, never late.

He can, but he has to get the court's permission. He will have to notify you of the hearing and you can tell the judge your side of the story. You might try and apologizing for cussing. But I have a suspicion that it is more than that.

Yes your attorney can withdraw. It sounds like it would be a good idea for you not to work with him. However you should request all your billing and hire new counsel quickly.

Your attorney can seek to withdraw at any time, for virtually any reason. The question is whether or not the court will grant it and you can oppose if you wish.

If the relationship has broken down to an extent that he feels he cannot adequately represent you, then he may make a motion to the Judge to withdraw from the case. Make sure you have new representation ready to go for your next hearing.

If there has been a breakdown in your relationship with your attorney you will be better served to get a new attorney and establish a fresh relationship.

Your attorney can request the court to permit withdrawal. It's probably best that you look for an attorney you get along with better.

Sounds like you relationship is less than optimal. Speak frankly with him and consider alternate counsel if you cannot reach resolution.
