Dunn County Circuit Court, Wisconsin Adjournment & Extension Requirements

CRITICAL

When no payments have been made but a written extension request is received, one extension will be granted and a letter will warn that suspension or other sanctions may follow if future payments are not received.

3. If no payments are made and a written request for extension has been received, one extension will be given and a return letter will be sent expressing that suspension or other sanctions may occur unless future payments are received.

CRITICAL

A court-trial adjournment request must be written, received at least five working days before trial, and state specific reasons and the opposing party’s position; the court considers the reasons and both parties’ positions rather than deciding solely based on agreement or objection.

All requests for adjournment of court trials must be in writing and be received by the Clerk of Court's Office at least 5 working days prior to the trial date. If this is not done, the trial will be held as scheduled. All requests for adjournment must include the specific reasons why a continuance is being requested and also state the position of the opposing party regarding the requested continuance. The court will not automatically grant a continuance simply because both parties agree to it, nor will the court deny the continuance simply because the opposing party objects to it. Rather, the court will consider the reason for the request along with the positions of both parties in making its decision.

CRITICAL

Extensions to the time to pay are automatically granted when monthly payments have been coming in.

1. If monthly payments have been coming in, extensions will be automatically granted.

CRITICAL

If no payments are made during the 60-day period and no written extension request is received, suspension or alternative sanctions will be imposed.

2. If no monthly payments have been made during the 60 days and no written request for an extension has been received, suspension or alternative sanctions will be imposed.

If the case settles prior to the return date or the parties wish to adjourn the matter, the parties must inform the Clerk of Court’s Office before 9:30 a.m. on the return date.
