Form F2: Notice of Withdrawal from Joint Family Law Case

Used when a person withdraws from a joint Supreme Court family case that began with Form F1.

Use the current official form: This guide explains the role of Form F2 under Rule 2-2(3)–(5). Always check the current Rules and official form before filing, serving or relying on a deadline.

What Form F2 is for

Used when a person withdraws from a joint Supreme Court family case that began with Form F1.

Key points

  • File Form F2 and personally serve the filed notice on the other joint claimant.
  • If you want to oppose a claim in the joint claim or seek other relief, Rule 2-2 requires the appropriate response and/or counterclaim when F2 is filed.
  • After withdrawal, the case continues under the ordinary family-case rules rather than as a joint case.

Practical steps

  1. Confirm the court file and registry match the original joint claim.
  2. File the completed F2.
  3. Arrange personal service of the filed notice as Rule 2-2 requires.
  4. If you need to oppose or add claims, prepare the required F4 and/or F5 at the same time.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming withdrawal automatically ends the entire case.
  • Serving an unfiled copy instead of the filed F2.
  • Failing to file a response/counterclaim when Rule 2-2(4) requires it.
