Typically, you'd notify the court that you want to have the case dismissed.

Can you give us more information? What were your grounds for starting case? Why do you now want it dismissed?

Well we weren't getting along at all I was pist off and just did it but were moving in soon together and we both want it dropped and we have a case management conference next month what goes on at a case management conference??

Depending on any allegations which were made you may not be able to drop it. Call the Court where you filed and ask.

The other party could be held in contempt if he/she doesn't appear and it's not cancelled.

How old is the child(ren)? Are you receiving any type of state assistance? How long ago did you file? What did you request when you filed? Have you/your partner been established as the legal father of the child?

And stepping aside from legal advice, being "p!ssed off" is a terrible reason to file for custody.

The problem is that by filing, you've created a much bigger issue. Now the courts are involved.

Are you the mother or the father? And as Judy asked, what allegations did you make? Did you request anything other than joint custody?

Your best bet would be to go with the mother to the courts and inform them that you no longer wish for the case to continue. They may or may not grant your request.

As I pointed out earlier, being angry is terrible grounds to file for anything in court. If you get this dismissed now, you need to seriously consider your actions in the future.

I'm not sure what the procedure in your state is. Actually, I don't even know what state you're in.

I'm going to take a guess and assume that the conference in your state is like mediation in my state - the two of you sit down with a non-biased 3rd party appointed by the court and try to get everything settled without actually going to trial.

I live in las vegas, Nevada so we don't talk to the judge at all that day . Do you think we could talk to the appointed third party about getting it dismissed

I would think so. You might even be able to contact the courts and state that you've settled already and be able to avoid the conference altogether. Contact the courts and ask; the clerk may be able to help you a bit more.

Then again, you may have to go to the conference and establish something as you've now started a case. But if you two are in agreement, it shouldn't be a big issue.

Thanks

First, when dealing with the law you need to remain as emotionless as possible. So you don't file a court action because you are "pissed off".

Second, if you have been named the legal father, then you already have joint custody by default. Unless a court order exists denying you joint custody.

Finally, I would still go ahead with the case. If you are not married to the mother, then you should formalize custody through the courts. You may get POed again.

- I'd also add a word about using text speak on the law boards.

I think the Court will see this as an on again/off again - you're fit, you're not fit argument and refuse to allow it to be dropped without an investigation and evaluation.

Time will tell.

Hello a:

I've never heard of such a thing... Tell me a little bit about what brought you to this point in time.
