Q. How to Withdraw an Ex Parte Hearing for Custody Visitation Schedule
A: If there has been no response filed to the ex parte or a responsive declaration filed/served, you can simply call the courtroom and tell the clerk you are withdrawing your motion or aka taking your motion off calendar. You can then file a "Notice of Taking Motion/RFO Off Calendar". This is a document of your own creation; not a form.
Q. Factors a judge must consider when deciding long-term spousal support? income, property or debt, and standard living?
A: Couple different things in your question that the court will look at (see Family Code §4320 for all the statutory factors the court will consider when ordering spousal support). In terms of duration of support to be paid, the court looks at the length of marriage (from date of marriage to date of separation). In terms of amount of support to be paid, the court looks at the lifestyle to which the couple became accustomed during the marriage and whether each spouse's separate income or assets are sufficient to maintain that lifestyle.

Q. How do I undo an adoption?
A: Adoptions can be reversed (aka "vacated") under certain limited circumstances. These limited circumstances are statutory and can be found at Family Code §9100 et. seq. Such limited circumstances include if the adopted child shows evidence of a developmental disability or mental illness as a result of conditions existing before the adoption and of which the adoptive parents or parent had no knowledge or notice before the entry of the order of adoption. You should consult directly with an adoption lawyer.
