Q: If I don't go to court and I was the one who filed will it be dropped or will I get in trouble of I don't show
A: If you filed an application with the court for relief and now you want to dismiss/withdraw your application, you need to let the judge handling the issue know immediately so that they can remove it from the calendar. If you filed an application and your ex filed a cross-application, then even if you withdraw your application, you still need to file a response to his application, and it must be filed within the time limits provided by the court rules.
