How do I cancel papers I filed with a court?

Question

I went to the state supreme court in New Jersey the other day to file for a set child support payment ad visitation of my son, and I was given a court date. But, his mother and I have come to an agreement, and I wanted to cancel the court date and file that were given. How do I do this? Is it even possible?

Answer 1

I wouldn't cancel it. I'd just present the judge with your agreement on that date and have him/her sign it so it's legal and on file. That way in 6 months when you're arguing again with your ex, you have something legal to enforce visitation and child support.

Answer 2

I was going to tell you to contact the secretary for the court, but someone else made a suggestion that is really even better.

Put your agreement down on paper (three copies) and both of you sign all 3 copies. That's one for you, one for her, and one to present to the court on your court date. Explain to the judge that you worked it all out and want to file it with the court so it's a legal court document. The judge will appreciate your maturity in working on reaching an agreement.

Answer 3

Until there is a court order you can cancel the order. Call you attorney to file the motion

Answer 4

I believe you simply contact the court. A court clerk should be able to process this or direct you on how to do it. Pre-trial settlements happen all the time. The courts don't want to hear a case that has been settled.

Answer 5

Contact your attorney or the court and request a cancellation.

Answer 6

You have to go to the clerk of the courts office and pull the papers with them.

Answer 7

I agree that instead of cancelling it, you need to get it in writing.

She can refuse to let you see your child or sue you for a higher amount at any time.
