Withdrawal of an admission or denial
§ 321.4. Withdrawal of an admission or denial. 1. A respondent who has entered a denial of a petition may as a matter of right withdraw such denial at any time before the conclusion of the fact-finding hearing and enter an admission to the entire petition.
2. At any time prior to the entry of a finding under section 352.1 the court in its discretion may permit a respondent who has entered an admission to the entire petition or to part of the petition to withdraw such admission, and in such event the entire petition as it existed at the time of the admission shall be restored.
A respondent may withdraw a denial to admit the whole petition any time before fact-finding ends. The court may, in its discretion, let a respondent withdraw an admission before a finding, restoring the full petition.
