Q: What part of the law would I find Bias Judgement, Colleagues, and what to do when case involves a Circuit Clerk employee

I have a custody case were the sister works for the Circuit Clerks office. Her and the girlfriend came up with a well calculated plan to make my character out to be a low life junkie so my ex could gain custody. They have gone as far as emailing where I live stating I deal drugs out of my apartment. I have the email they sent and the girlfriends name is on the picture they submitted under a somewhat false email address. They both have taken EOPs on me when my ex false allegations failed to stick and his attorney refused to serve an EOP on me. There over 18 false police reports on me. The girlfriends EOP is in Appellate Court because I'm receiving a bias judgement based on the sister. The judge on the sisters EOP and Custody case (same judge) as already said no judge will be able to recuse themselves. I'm working on a motion to move venues based on bias judgement. I don't stand a chance if I stay in my county.

A: your efforts are better spent working on your custody issues. Arrange a visitiation eval with a social worker, etc. but you need an attorney. d.i.y. is getting you nowhere. Trying to tell a judge the system is biased doesn't get an unrepresented person anywhere. You need an attorney to build a case you are not what you are made out to be. Only then can you possibly be successful in custody and then in a slander /libel case against the others. Get a lawyer. Now.
