Either parent can ask the judge to change parenting time in an existing family law case by filing a motion to change parenting time. It could be a divorce, separate maintenance, custody, paternity, or family support case, but there must already be a custody order or judgment in the case.
To do this, you should file a Request for Parenting Time Enforcement (form FD/FOC 4052). A copy of the Order you are trying to enforce must be attached to the form. The form is available electronically (FD/FOC 4052) or at the Friend of the Court Information Services Department, 645 Griswold, Detroit MI 48226.

A “motion for a continuance” is a request asking the judge to make an order changing your hearing date. If the judge grants your motion, your court date will be postponed to a later time. For most requests for continuances, you must provide the judge with a suitable reason (“good cause”) for postponing your court date.
