Q: Is a judges court deputy allowed to Facebook message us telling us what we need to do an ongoing custody case?
The judge on a custody case in Idaho is actually friends with the other party. He won't allow any evidence to be submitted through court and has so far ignored our evidence, or refusing to allow the evidence into court at all. Now his court deputy is messaging us on Facebook telling us that we're in the wrong, or we're acting like bad people because of things the other party is telling them outside of court and what we should do to fix it. Is he allowed to message us like this? How do we go about getting a new judge that won't recuse himself or admit to his personal bias?
A: If what you say is correct, then you need to file a Motion for Disqualification under ICR 25.
