Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut
Post judgement attorney motion to withdraw
A friend just received a notice that
her attorney filed a motion to
withdraw from representing her after
a judgement was made to modify her
divorce agreement. She still owes her
attorney for services which she will
pay. My question is, is this common
when a case is closed for the time
being and how will this affect future
court dates if any? There is also
nothing that my friend knows of that
her attorney indicated prior to this
notice that she would no longer
represent her.

Re: Post judgement attorney motion to withdraw
Why doesn't your friend just ask the attorney?
I can not speculate on why she is withdrawing after modification post-judgment.
As far as future court dates, your friend can ask to retain her again (if she is willing) or your friend will have to move on.
No, it's not "common," but it also isn't unusual.
