Your question is impossible to understand. Call a family law attorney if this is about an interdiction, or an estate planning attorney if this is about a succession.

Q: Can I file a motion of intent to appeal in the district court and it be a suspensive appeal regarding a custody case?

The judge revoked my medical rights and ordered a medial procedure for my daughter without prior testimony and the prodecure will likely cause harm. Is there a way I can suspend the effects of just that part in the ruling until an appeal can be ruled?

Appeals in custody cases are generally devolutive, not suspensive. However, there is a procedure available to take an emergency appeal under limited circumstances, which provides for an expedited review by the appellate court. Time is limited, however, so you should consult with an attorney ASAP.

Having been a judge, I can tell you that judges are presumed to be unbiased. If your husband was represented by counsel (and I assume he was), his attorney should have asked for recusal if he thought there was bias.
