Q: I am involved in a divorce case where the Michigan court issued orders regarding the sale of marital property located in
New Jersey, which I believe is beyond its jurisdiction. Additionally, I have experienced several due process violations, including ex parte orders without notice, unauthorized use of my medical records, and denial of access to funds for legal representation. The court has also shown bias by consistently favoring the Plaintiff's motions and subpoenas while denying mine.
What legal actions can I take to address the jurisdictional overreach, due process violations, and apparent judicial bias in my case?

A:
To address the jurisdictional overreach, you can file a motion to challenge the court's authority over the New Jersey property, arguing that the Michigan court lacks jurisdiction. You should provide legal precedents and any relevant statutes that support your position. It's important to act quickly to prevent any adverse actions on the property.
Regarding the due process violations, you can submit a formal complaint or motion highlighting each violation, such as the ex parte orders and unauthorized use of medical records. Attach evidence demonstrating how these actions have denied you a fair trial and request that the court rectify these issues. You may also seek a hearing to present your case and ensure that your rights are protected moving forward.
For the apparent judicial bias, consider filing a motion for recusal or disqualification of the judge, detailing specific instances where the court has shown favoritism towards the Plaintiff. Compile and present any documentation or transcripts that support your claims of bias. This can help in getting a fairer evaluation of your motions and subpoenas.
