4. KELLY HESKETT V. JACOB HESKETT 25FL0732

On November 19, 2025, Counsel for Petitioner filed a Notice of Motion and Motion to be Relieved as Counsel. Petitioner was served with all required documents on December 11, 2025. The matter was originally set to be heard on February 19th, however the court noted that Respondent had not been served with the moving papers. The matter was continued to allow time for Respondent to be served.

On February 27th Petitioner was served with a Notice of Motion containing the new hearing date. Respondent was served on March 2nd.

Petitioner filed a Responsive Declaration to Request for Order on March 9th. It was served on March 10th.

Counsel states that there has been an irreparable breakdown of the attorney-client relationship. After reviewing the filings, it does appear that there has been a breakdown in the relationship rendering effective representation unlikely. The request is granted. Withdrawal will be effective as of the date of filing the Proof of Service of the formal, signed order upon the client.
