Q: Can I get a change of venue from a Justice court to the superior court involving an order of protection in Arizona?
I believe the judge is prejudiced against me and has a personal relationship with the plaintiff. She works for the City of Phoenix and had many connections that have been helping her lie and deceive DCS about my grandchildren and their living situation. This Justice court is more than twenty miles from her home and she works literally two blocks away from the Superior Court. It’s obvious she chose the Justice court for a reason. This judge would not allow me to introduce my evidence at the hearing and the email where I had sent the evidence to two days prior to the hearing was returned to me as access denied and I received the same message today when trying to file a motion to have counsel represented.
A: In Arizona, changing the venue of a case from a Justice Court to a Superior Court for an order of protection may be possible in certain situations. However, the process and criteria for requesting a change of venue can vary based on the specifics of your case and local court rules.
