Continuance
Summary:A request to reschedule a court hearing
Template:Each courthouse uses its own form

A Continuance is a request to reschedule a court hearing. A continuance can be requested in writing using your court's Motion and Order for Continuance form, usually at least one week before the hearing. However, many continuances are done orally at the day of the hearing. Continuances are prolific, creating what is often referred to as "rolling calendars" where hearings are continually pushed back. Often, the spouses, witnesses, and others will show up to court on the hearing date, just for the hearing to be rescheduled for a third or fourth time. This is one of the reasons litigation in government courts can take a long time and cost a lot in attorney fees.
