The Pennsylvania Application For Continuance (Family Court) is a document used when a party appears in one of Pennsylvania’s family courts and needs to have their hearing or trial postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. This document is used to request an extension of time for a hearing or trial so that the party can prepare the necessary paperwork or obtain a lawyer. There are two types of Pennsylvania Application For Continuance (Family Court): the Request for Continuance and the Motion for Continuance. The Request for Continuance is typically used when the party does not need a lawyer and can represent themselves in court. The Motion for Continuance is typically used when the party needs more time to obtain a lawyer or prepare for the hearing/trial. Both forms require the applicant to provide the court with their name, contact information, and a brief explanation of why they need an extension. Once completed, the form must be filed with the court clerk and the opposing party must be notified.
