Okay, you're a year and a half in. Discovery should have been months ago. Was there any discovery? If so, what documents were requested? What documents were returned?

I get that you're frustrated, and with good reason. However, at the moment, you need to focus on WINNING. What does it take to WIN? If your attorney is that unresponsive, consider getting another one.

"i feel like i am doing my own work and he is doing the filing"
To me, that's as it should be, more or less. It's YOUR case, not his. He is merely an advisor. Having said that, doing your own legwork should greatly reduce the amount you spend on him. In my divorce, my ex spent about $35k on attorneys while I spent about $10k, and that was in large part because I handled as much as I was able.

Have you tried planting yourself in his office first thing in the morning and not leaving until he sees you?

If you can change attorneys I'd strongly recommend it. My attorney laid out all possible strategies not to long after our initial consultation. Every time my attorney has had to bring in an outside expert to do some work (property expert for the area where out marital home was, another attorney well versed in title law, etc) he consulted with me and explained several things: pros and cons of hiring/not hiring, why he felt it a necessity, and then allowed me to question the suggestion. My attorney also is very prompt to respond to emails and phone messages and if he can't he has an associate in the firm that is familiar with my case respond. I'm paying him a lot of money and he knows that I expect that he be proactive in my case and communicate with me.
