How do I submit a request to the court for additional time in a small claims court case?

To submit a request to the Colorado Small Claims Court for additional time in a small claims court case, you must first obtain an “Order for Postponement” form from the court. You must then fill out the form completely, including your name, address, telephone number, case number, and the reason for requesting a postponement. You must then file this completed form with the court. You will also need to provide a copy of the form to the other party involved in the case. Once the form has been filed and a copy has been provided to the other party, you will need to wait for the court to make a determination on your request. If your request for additional time is approved, the court will issue an “Order for Postponement” which will detail the amount of time that has been granted for the postponement. This will include information such as when the new hearing date will be, and the specific court address where the hearing will be held. The order will also contain any other information pertinent to the extension. If your request is denied, the court may explain why the request was denied on the “Order for Postponement” form. It is important to adhere to the court’s order as failure to do so could have serious legal consequences. It is important to remember that even if your request for additional time is approved, the other party may object to the order and request a hearing to contest it. It is important to attend the hearing and be prepared to present any evidence you have to support your argument. Ultimately, the judge will make a final decision on the request.
