What happens after counterclaim/answer in a divorce?

I filed for divorce last Feb. 2012. I received my wife's counterclaim answer Nov of the same year. My lawyer has withdrawn because of my girlfriend's impatience and interfering. I cannot afford a new lawyer. Wife knows about my girlfriend by the way but wanted me to file divorce since she didn't want to spend the money. Now I am growing impatient. I just want the marriage over, filed for no fault (I live in PA.) irretreivable breakdown, she can have everything. She can have the house. She lives in the marital home, I live in an apartment. Her answer was to deny my request for divorce and wants alimony/alimony pendente lite. I haven't had any hearings at all. Should I contact the court and make an appointment for a hearing or do I have to wait the full 2 years so then she can't deny the marriage is broken any longer? By this October it will be 2 years we lived separate.
