A Florida Motion For Continuance is a legal motion filed by a party in the state of Florida to request a delay of a court hearing or trial. This motion is typically filed in order to provide the party filing the motion more time to prepare for the hearing or trial. There are two primary types of Florida Motion For Continuance: an agreed motion and a contested motion. An agreed motion is one in which both parties agree to the continuance and the court grants the motion. A contested motion is one in which one party opposes the motion and the court must decide whether to grant the motion or not. In either case, the party filing the motion must provide a valid reason for the continuance in order to increase the chances that the court will grant the motion.
