When your lawyer retired, he probably sent you a letter with a list of lawyers he suggested you contact to take over your case. In my experience lawyers don’t want to retire with an open file. Regardless, if you had a lawyer to start the case you will likely need one to finish it. Depending where it was filed, the court may be dismissing your case soon if it has been filed since 2016. Depending on the grounds for divorce, the documents filed, and some other details, a lawyer should be able to pretty quickly tell you what is necessary to finish your case, but they won’t be able to do that without reviewing what has happened so far, paperwork wise.
