    what happens next?
    Presumably, the court will determine the pending motions. The court may defer decision on your discovery motion to give your wife time to find a new attorney.

    Are there hearings involved in any of this, or does the Judge just answer?
    Some courts routinely schedule hearings on motions. Some only schedule hearings when they think it is needed. We have no way of knowing how the unknown judge handling your case does things.

    I've asked my attorney this, but it wasn't clear, and I don't want to be billed for any more of his time.
    First of all, when you ask your attorney something and his answer isn't clear, ask that he make it clear and keep asking until you understand. That's one of the biggest parts of an attorney's job. Second, if you don't want to pay your attorney to do his job, why do you have one?

    How long does it usually take for an order to be entered permitting withdrawal of counsel? So far, it has been 15 days since opposing counsel filed.
    Determining how long it "usually takes" for a judge to decide a particular type of motion obviously requires familiarity with that judge. Even if you had identified the judge (and you shouldn't) and the county where your case is pending, the chance that someone familiar with the judge will happen upon your post are virtually non-existent.

    This is why you have a lawyer.
