Lawyer response time

What a "good" for a lawyer's response time when it comes to divorce? 1-2 days? A week? Considering if I need to change lawyers as in my view mine isn't very responsive to emails. Appreciate I'm not the center of the universe.

I would typically get response from my lawyer on the same day, the next day max.

Within 1-2 days is good.

If it's more than that, I'd be ok with it as long as I didn't mark it urgent or stipulate any deadline.

If I was regularly waiting for over 5 working days I would consider that bad. It's important to recognise that their workloads vary and they would obviously prioritise work that has court deadlines, but it shouldn't mean you get a slow response on every occasion.
