Can anyone perhaps help me with how I can go about withdrawing a C100 court application for access to my children.
I emailed the court and copied my wife in on this email but now they have asked me to fill out a D11 form which does not appear to be the correct form
Hi there
I've had a quick look at what a D11 form is and it seems that it's used during divorce proceedings, which wouldn't be applicable in this circumstance. I've never heard of using this form for withdrawing a C100 application and generally a written request to the court is the first step, sometimes the judge wants attendance at the scheduled hearing before allowing the case closure, especially if there have been allegations made, or there are unresolved safeguarding questions.
You can contact Coram child law advice line for further information, or your local Citizens Advice Bureau should be able to advise you.

All the best
Hi,
Not advisable if you want to make future applications, but just dont turn up to the next hearing, they will probably dismiss your case.

Personally, I would attend the hearing and ask permission to withdraw.
Or, you could try emailing the court again to question their advice of a D11
Many Thanks
