2 lawyers, I petitioned. Getting towards end, what's going on with the paperwork?
Called my lawyers office numerous times about paperwork that was suppose to be emailed or faxed over from the opposing side (husbands). My lawyer has said never received from opposing lawyer for approval of documents for finalization of divorce. This has gone on for weeks. Opposing lawyer has said sent paperwork numerous times, and I, to the point of frustration got a hold of the paperwork to be looked over by my lawyer and FAXED it myself, to no avail. Not to mention that the files of that information was sent from my email address about a month ago as well to my lawyer. I just want this divorce over with. What is going on? I am on speaking terms with my husband (soon to be ex), and he thinks it is my lawyers fault and that he is being hesitant. Is there something I should know? Tried calling my lawyer and only spoke to the secretary who said this happens alot (paperwork not sent by opposing lawyer). What difference is it whether I faxed and emailed it to him or his attorney?

Nothing really. If your attorney wants to play game then obtain a copy from your husbands attorney and sign it and send it back to your husbands attorney. Since this is supposed to be the finalcopy it wont matter much other than you paid for this to your attorney. You can always ask for the money back but dont expect it. You really dont need your attorney at this point because all that happens now is the final appearance before the Judge for his final approval and you and your husband can do that. If the Judge wants to know what happened to your attorney,tell him the whole story. Once the judge signs it, it will usually take about 30 days to be registered with the dept. of records and thus become finalized

Typical attorneys churning you for more money. Tell your attorney if he doesn't get on with it you're going to file a complaint with the State Bar Association.

Contact the court, tell them that you don't know where the hold up is but that you should have the paper work by now.
