If your divorce is not final, it is not too late to obtain counsel. The attorney handling it now, can only represent one of you, and he/she probably represents your husband.

I don't know how far along you are in the process but if you would like, get an attorney to review it.

If no default has been entered, you may still have an attorney appear on your behalf.? You should take all the paperwork filed so far and consult an experienced divorce attorney if you are uncomfortable about the process as your husband is handling it.

It is never too late, unless the Final Hearing has already occurred. Petitions can always be amended.

No, it is never too late to hire an attorney. If you wait too long, however, there may be things that even an attorney can't "undo".

You can hire an attorney to represent you at any time. Your new attorney will simply file a substitution of attorney and will then be able to take over representing you in your divorce.

It is not too late to hire an attorney but do not wait as the clock is ticking if you filed for a joint divorce. Make sure the terms are fair and that you get support if you are entitled to it. This is opinion not legal advice.

No you can hire an attorney at any time in the process.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "joint" divorce, but it is certainly not too late to consult with an attorney to discuss the process and determine whether you might need additional assistance.
