JavaFx removing child node loses functionality, but stays present

I have a custom component that extends CubicCurve. It is the third child of an AnchorPane;

Scene
    AnchorPane
        BorderPane
            Circle
               CubicCurve

When I call anchorpane.getChildren().remove(cubic_curve) it loses its functionality (the start and end points are bound to a moveable node -- these are not bound anymore), however I can still see it.

Is there a proper way to 'delete' the shape? Everything I've found just points me to removing the child, however this doesn't work for me.

Thanks in advance.

Fixed!

I was calling getChildren().remove(cubic_curve) within an .setOnMouseDragReleased() handler. When I put it within a .setOnMouseReleased() handler it worked perfectly.

I was trying to connect two nodes with a cubic curve by dragging and dropping. The onDragRelease handler would be called by the node that is dropped upon -- the curve that it was referencing was not the correct one. By moving it to onMouseReleased, the handler references the first node that then references the correct curve.

Hope that makes sense!
