BECAUSE you fired your attorney, she MUST withdraw from your case. Otherwise, her name is going to appear on everything at the court and she will get sent all of your orders, etc. As for the rest of your question, you do not need an attorney, but it sounds like one would be helpful to help you sort things out. If you have an agreement that covers your request to move out of state then you probably don't need to file the Petition, but if it doesn't, you should.
