How do I get a continuance

Ohio court House, Feb 02, 2005

You must fill out a continuance form, available from the Judge’s or Magistrate’s Assignment
Office (depending on whether a Judge or a Magistrate is ruling on your divorce).

After the form is filled out, take it to either the Judge’s Bailiff or the Magistrate assigned to the case.
They will decide whether a continuance is appropriate.
 
If the continuance is approved, you must take the form back to the appropriate Assignment Office; they will schedule a new date.

At this point, take the form, with the newly scheduled date, to the Magistrate or the Bailiff for
final approval and a signature. Make certain to save all copies that are returned to you.
