In the formal legal world, a court case that is dismissed with prejudice means that it is dismissed permanently.

Child custody cases where physical and/or emotional abuse to a child OR a parent has occurred are likely to go to trial as well. A finding of physical/emotional abuse has serious ramifications with respect to custody, both legal and physical.
