What Form F7 is for
Used in a family law case in which divorce is claimed when a party who filed a pleading wants to withdraw that pleading or part of it.
Key points
- F7 is about withdrawing a pleading in a divorce case.
- The Rule requires the notice to be filed and served.
- It is different from Form F39 discontinuance and Form F40 withdrawal under Rule 11-4.
Practical steps
- Identify the pleading, or the part of the pleading, being withdrawn.
- File F7 in the existing court file.
- Serve the filed notice on the parties as required.
- Check whether another claim, counterclaim or response remains active.
Common mistakes
- Using F7 when the case does not include a divorce claim.
- Assuming withdrawal of one pleading automatically dismisses another party’s claims.
- Confusing F7 with F39 or F40.
