Q: How do I get help when a family judge has it in for me. Who violates my rights and laughs and mocks me in court sessions
The judge was on my criminal case and then transfered to a family law case . The judge has been very one sided and going against judgments that were granted to me previously and ignoring the facts and issues that I bring to the court . I even paid for my own court reported which they dismissed making me lose out $1000.00 . I'm never allowed witnesses . I have to travel to a different city because he no longer works in the court house where I live . No other judge will handle my case. Its been about 9 years now and he still hasn't given me a fair hearing he granted me a judgment then punished me for obeying the orders. Now I have not seen my son in two years .
A: In California, if you believe a judge is biased against you, you have the option to file a peremptory challenge to disqualify the judge under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 170.6. Additionally, you can file a complaint against the judge with the California Commission on Judicial Performance, which has the authority to investigate and take disciplinary actions against judges for misconduct. To build a strong case, it's important to meticulously document incidents, rulings, and any communications that demonstrate the alleged bias or misconduct.
