FAQ
Yes- you can voluntarily dismiss your child custody petition. Be sure that your written agreement states very clearly that the dismissal is ``without prejudice,'' to preserve your right to re-file in the event she does not follow through on her agreement.
Ideal custody witnesses are witnesses who typically are neutral: teachers, coaches, medical providers; parents of the children's friends.
Should you end up in court, proof that you are a responsible, loving parent goes a long way toward avoiding a custody battle. Don't share the messy details with your children. Don't use child custody to punish your ex-spouse. Follow any instructions from the court.
Additional Tips to Testifying in a Family Law Case Be honest. Maintain eye contact with your attorney and/or the judge. Listen carefully. Manage your emotions. Dress presentably. Don't use negative body language or facial expressions. If an attorney objects, stop talking and wait for the judge's instruction.
Mothers historically have won more custody battles due to traditional roles and perceptions of mothers as the primary caregivers. However, this trend is changing as courts increasingly focus on the best interests of the child, considering many factors beyond traditional roles.
To get custody or any rights to visit, the father must first prove he is the father. To do so, he must file a court case or fill out an Administrative Legitimation Form with the State Vital Records office. An unwed biological father commits a crime if he just takes a child.
If you no longer want to continue with your custody and visitation case, you can file a motion asking the judge to dismiss it. However, if the other parent has already come to court or filed legal papers in the case, both you and the other parent must sign the motion for dismissal.
Habeas Corpus is a legal action through which a person can seek relief from unlawful detention. In custody disputes, a parent may file a writ of Habeas Corpus asking the court to order the other parent to return the child.
File a motion to withdraw: If you decide to proceed with withdrawal, you may need to file a motion with the court requesting to withdraw from the case. The court will review the motion and make a decision based on the best interests of the child involved.
