Q: I petitioned the court for custody with my child who lives with the mother. We have been to the initial court appearance and once more after the child met with the child attorney. But I have decided to withdraw my petition all together and I would like to withdraw by letter so I don't miss work. There are no other petitions.
But I'm not sure how it works. Does it stop once I withdraw or will they still be able to make other decisions in the case without me there?
A: David's Answer: You can withdraw your petition by sending a letter to the Court to that effect with a notation that a copy was sent to the mother as well. This should be sufficient, unless the mother files a counter-petition. Schedule a consult with a NYC Child Custody attorney for a full assessment. -- David Bliven, Bronx Child Custody attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
