Where do I get forms for "motion to continue" and "Interrogatory" and how do I file these?
Answer to Family Law Question
Dear Mark,
There is no set form for a Motion to Continue on the
Florida court's website for a family law case.
However, the format for
any type of pro se motion in a family law case is like the following.

You can copy and paste the above into your favorite word processor and edit it for your needs.
Make sure the top heading portion matches exactly what is on the other documents in your case.
Just in case you are looking for a continuance (a postponement of a
court date) instead, Standard Legal publishes this professionally
prepared Motion for Continuance.
Likewise, if you are dealing with a family law issue, there are standard Family Law Interrogatories on the Florida Supreme Court's website, www.flcourts.org.
Alternatively, you can draft your own set of questions to include in any interrogatories.
You may include up to 10 additional questions on the
standard interrogatories form by including a properly formatted
attachment.
We have a customized fillable PDF packet
of the Standard Family Law Interrogatories for Modification Proceedings
form which includes a page for additional interrogatory questions along
with the required Notice of Service form (also PDF fillable).
You can
purchase it here ($4.95) for instant downloading.
