Family Court judges are fairly liberal in granting one continuance for a litigant to obtain counsel.  Subsequent continuances are less likely to be granted.   Agreement for further continuances usually include agreement on issues pending subsequent orders.

In a contested divorce, I recommend you get legal representation, and that will make a continuance easier.  This answer does neither create a lawyer/client relationship nor constitute legal advice. Dr. Michael G. Sribnick, Esq. Michael G. Sribnick, M.D., J.D., LLC
