Motion for Continuances
If you need to request a continuance, it must be done at least (10) days prior to the scheduled Virtual Support Hearing. Only emergency requests will be considered within (10) days of the hearing. Ensure that your motion for continuance includes supporting verification and is submitted on the appropriate form. Requests without verification will be denied.
Please note that continuances will not be granted for the following reasons:
- Parties working on/circulating a settlement (parties must appear at the Virtual Support Hearing to enter the agreement on the record)
- Unavailability of counsel (unless Court attached)
- Unavailability of an expert witness
Failure to Appear
It is crucial to attend the Virtual Support Hearing as failure to do so may have consequences. The Judge may dismiss any exceptions filed by parties who fail to appear at the hearing. Make sure you and the opposing party are well-prepared and agree on stipulated facts to avoid disputes during the hearing. Stipulating to certain facts can streamline the process by eliminating the need for documentation. These stipulations can be done either in writing prior to the hearing or orally to the Hearing Officer on the day of the hearing.
