Emergency “ex parte” actions involve one party asking the court for a hearing and/or order without first giving notice to the other parties in the case about their request.

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.
