So you were served with a summons? What do you mean a continuation?

[BV80]

You should read your court's Rules of Civil Procedure. Those rules should tell you how to file for a continuance, as well as when you should receive a summons prior to an appearance...whether or not you were given the proper amount of time.

If you were served with a complaint, you should have 20 to 30 from the day you were served from what I have read.

However if this summons is really a motion, then 12 days is probably enough time. I have filed motions and only allowed 5 or 6 days notification to the JDB suing me. You will need to show up for the court date if it is a motion, they might award a default if you don't.

Is this the first notification of this suit or have you known about this?? In order to help people on here are going to need to know whether this was an initial summons or whether it is a motion.
