How can you push back a court date that is tomorrow?
To push back a court date that is scheduled for tomorrow, you would need to contact the court as soon as possible and request a continuance or an adjournment. You may need to provide a valid reason for the request, such as a scheduling conflict or unexpected emergency. It is ultimately up to the judge to approve or deny the request for a new court date.
How long can a continuance go for?
You are to be commended for your honesty... however, a continuance is good for only so long as a judge grants it. Eventually the judge will want to move the case forward and dispose of it in order to clear his calender. If a continuance is in your favor I suspect that it is NOT in your exes favor. Therefore I would expect that your exes attorney would want to move the case forward as rapidly as possible.
How many adjournments are allowed in a civil lawsuit?
I think you mean to say "continuance," instead of "adjourments." A continuance is when a judge cancels and reschedules a trial setting. An adjournment is when a judge takes a break during an ongoing hearing or trial. Either way, the judge has complete discretion in continuing a case for another time. Usually, the first two continuances are more easily granted. But after two continuances, the judge really needs to have a good compelling reason. Additionally, a judge is less likely to grant a continuance as the case gets older. Nevertheless, it is the judge's decision and there is no limit to how many times a case can be continued.
What does motion to continue mean?
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.
