I can prove all allegations and statements made were false, with documentation.
A:
You could have challenged the assignment of the judge to the custody case as prejudiced by the hearing of the earlier DV case, but you waived this right by not raising the issue at the first custody hearing.
At this point you should bring an Order to Show Cause for modification of grand-parental visitation. You will need to show a change of circumstances since the prior order (e.g., completion of DV classes, 12 step program, etc.)
