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?
