Small Claims Court Motion For Continuance:How to file for a continuance / date change? I understand it's a Motion? What steps do I need to do?

Answer to Florida Court Forms Question
Dear Stephanie,
I think what you need to do is file a Motion for Continuance. It includes the heading for the circuit and county; names of the Plaintiff and Defendant; case number; the title is "Motion for Continuance".
Then request a continuance and give the reasons for your request. File it with the clerk of court, and copy it to the other party.
Below is a sample of the format for a Motion for Continuance:
