How to Reschedule a Court Date in a Family Law Case

If you have a court date in a family law case (like a divorce, parentage, child custody or support), you may be able to ask the court to postpone your court date. You have to file your request at least 5 days before the court date, unless you have a very good reason not to.

Do not use these instructions to reschedule a restraining order court date!

Pick the option that best describes your situation:

  1. Fill out:
  • Request to Reschedule Hearing (FL-306
  • Order on Request to Reschedule Hearing (FL-309) (just fill out the boxes at the top and #1-4 above the line)
  1. Make 1 copy of FL-306 and FL-309.
  2. File original and copy in the Clerk’s Office.
  3. Return to pick up your paperwork. If your FL-309 is signed by the judge, it will have a new court date. Attach it to your FL-300 paperwork to serve the other side.
