Some of the things a court might consider are: How will the court decide whether or not to give me a continuance? Some courts might have local rules that apply to requests for continuance you can check with the court where your hearing is scheduled to see if there are any local rules that you need to know about. The court does not have to give you a continuance it will be up to the court to decide whether or not to give you a continuance.
This means you ask the court to cancel the hearing and reschedule it for another date. I have a hearing scheduled in court, but I can't be there.
