How can I request some time from the judge, in order to find a new attorney?

I appeared last week on a motion to default on the sale of the marital property. The default is no longer but there’s a motion to enforce the sale. They also want the divorce proceedings addressed.

You should absolutely show up at your next court date and advise the Judge that you are in the process of hiring an attorney. He/She will give you 28 days to find an attorney.
