This is really a procedural question best asked to an attorney or the court in your area. Procedural law deals the basically the mechanics of how a lawsuit works and how things are carried out during the litigation. Generally speaking, once a matter is dismissed or withdrawn the orders associated with it are null and void. How could the court enforce the orders with out the presence of the law suit on their docket (their list of cases filed with the court and assigned to them as a judge)? Now, some times custody and visitation orders are entered in to in cases that stand by themselves - in other words not connected to a divorce action. Get help. Good luck.
