A motion for a continuance means the same thing in a divorce case as any other civil case. The Movant is requesting the judge push off a hearing or the trial itself. If there is no objection by the other side, a continuance hearing isn't necessary however if the other side objects, the judge in the case will hear from both sides and decide if a continuance is warranted.
