Order dismissing petition
§ 441. Order dismissing petition. If the allegations of a petition under this article are not established by competent proof, the court shall dismiss the petition. If a neglect petition was filed in the support proceeding, the court retains jurisdiction over the neglect petition whether or not it dismisses the support petition.
If the allegations aren't proven by competent proof, the court dismisses the petition — but keeps jurisdiction over any neglect petition filed in the support proceeding.
