Yes. You can change your lawyer at any time. Court fee is very nominal for filing the motions. And yes after 3 years of separation second motions can be filed within one week of the first motion. You can contact me

Yes you can change your lawyer . Your lawyer will have to give you a no objection certificate and will return your files . Thereafter you can ask your new lawyer to file a fresh vakalatnama to represent you in court . Plz contact me for further discussion.

Yes you can surely chamge your lawyer and hire a new lawyer to file the mutual divorce petitions on your behalf. The fee for filing the same would vary lawyer to lawyer, however a rough estimate shall be around 12 to 15000 for the same.
