What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tx

My divorce has been pending for year now because her lawyer wouldnt finish some paper work. I need to modify it because I now have the kids and the situation is different.

Do I have all rights to obtain my file from my lawyer and hire someone else? I have a feeling there gonna beat aroudn the bush and say I cant have it or something.

I talked to a lawyer earlier and he said I did have a right to get the file. I need to do a counterpostion?

You have the right to a copy of the file. Your attorney has the right to charge a small copying fee.
