My husband knows the judge! My husband filed for divorce in the county we were married in and he still lives. He is a police officer and has many ties to the judge who is hearing our case. I have motioned for a change of venue to the county (4hours away) that our children and myself live, and it has been 2 months and still no answer. There is no way this could be fair, right? - Audrey

Answer:

Audrey: Just because you know someone doesn't necessarily mean you will be biased in favor of that person. In fact, in some cases you could be biased against someone you know. Your motion is essentially a motion asking the judge to recuse himself or herself because he or she would be biased in favor of your husband. This will be ruled upon by the same judge you are trying to take off the case.
