I’m in Illinois:

As the title states I’ve been having issues with my attorney. I’m in family court going through a custody battle. For the last few months he has routinely brushed off my concerns and my requests that he fight for certain things on my behalf. He repeatedly kept telling me to just let my ex get whatever it was she was doing or pushing for at the time and when I protested he would routinely tell me that pushing back would end up with me being an every other weekend father in the end. Most recently there was an issue where my ex and I were disagreeing on where to enroll our son into an extracurricular activity he wanted to do. Her attorney sent their request and asked if I would be agreeable or not and before getting a response my ex went ahead and enrolled him and the. Had her attorney just send me a bill to pay half. I reached out to my attorney several times about it and have actually reached out last week Monday about my position on this and he never responded until Saturday when I sent a scathing email to his office asking why he never responded to me or the opposing counsel and I requested that this be challenged because I’ve been told repeatedly that we can’t arbitrarily make deductions like that yet my ex has done it several times and my attorney hasn’t done anything about it. Without responding to any of my emails they instead email me asking me to respond to several requests from the opposing counsel and I sent an email explaining my frustration that they kept ignoring my requests for information and explanations and I didn’t understand why they feel that responding to opposing counsel is more important than their client. My attorney didn’t like that and said he was withdrawing himself from my case because he felt I didn’t have confidence in him. Mind you, I had sent repeated requests for an explanation as to why he would never fight for the interests I would state to him and would never get any answer other than “if you want to be an every other weekend father then sure” so his offense to my frustrated emails seems disingenuous to me. The court date for him to withdraw is tomorrow and he said if I want to say anything to the court that I could be there and do so. Is there anything I should say? If so, what? How? Also, his office has sent me an invoice for $2600 and honestly I don’t feel like I should be billed by him considering he has repeatedly ignored and refused to fight for my interests despite repeated requests to do so. I mean, I don’t need to be a lawyer to roll over for everything the opposing side wants and then to sit there and tell me that every attempt to fight for myself would result in my becoming an every other weekend father feels unethical. Am I in the wrong here? Any and all help and advice would be very greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
