What do I do if I've run out of money to continue family law court? Can I just withdraw?

You can, but that doesn't mean the other party will. They can move to have the matter proceed undefended, which basically means that the evidence they provide won't be questioned and orders could be made in your absence.

Or you could self represent to try to make sure a determination does not go against you undefended...

So there would also be examples where a party threw in the towel and signed consent orders because they could afford to fund any further?

Most likely, but none we, the public, can look over because the Court doesn't publish cases where all orders were made by consent.
