Can I withdraw my court application?

[Buriedalive]

If I wanted to.. at any point, am I able to withdraw it? Its an a step parent adoption that I made myself.

Dad has been found but is now trying to turn it into a contact order

yes

Only with the permission of the court.

And even if you did withdraw the adoption side of things, surely Dad could still proceed with the contact element of the case?

Nomoretether, I don't mind him doing that. But I've forked out a lot of money on this case and in the process (like the lase case I had to attend with him) me and my family suffer horrific abuse.

Court are likely to allow you permission to withdraw.
