18th Judicial District Court In Louisiana Ex-Wife of my husbandIs a Former Assistant District Attorney & ran Judges Campaign for Reelection 3 Months Prior to Separation and He Is Our Family Law Judge: WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? Plaquemine Louisiana
My husband origianlly filed for a 102 divorce in October of 2004 after his ex-wife vacated the home in September of 2004. She proceeded to move into a "friend's" trailer, use drugs, wreck a vehicle while intoxicated, have sex with a minor, falsely accuse two young men of rape..... and use her Assistant District Attorney's badge as a free get-out-of-jail card.
Her behavior was so deplorable that the District Attorney (her boss) ordered an investigation, find cause for probation for her job, and ordered drug and alcohol treatment. Along with informatin from the D.A. and locals in that particular area, my husband found out about his ex's behavior. In January of 2005, she had papers drawn up to give him sole custody of the three children. Sometime in February of 2005, she filed for a 103 divorce. My husband and his ex went to court in April of 2005 and the nightmare in the judicial system of Iberville Parish began. His ex "changed her mind" about custody and the judge would not allow him to present about 25 witnesses to testify about her behavior as an unfit mother. The judge actually stated that he did not want to hear anything prior to that day (April 14th, 2005) that she had done.
He then proceeded in the coming months and court dates to deny my husband any reimbursement of expenses incurred by her during the separation that were personal. Also, half of community expenses during the separation that should be reimbursed were ignored also. The total is approximately $30,000 which he has organized so nicely on a spread sheet that in his courtroom apparently is worthless. Also, the judge ordered that the children must maintain their same lifestyle during separation and after divorce, including private school which my husband's job situation now can no longer support. Unfortunately, the list goes on.
Recently, his ex-wife (using her attorney's letterhead) went and filed all kinds of contempt charges (based on financial disputes) on June 30, 2006 stating that he had 10 days to comply. The court date is set for July 7, 2006 (IN LESS THAN 10 DAYS). I went and asked the judge, on behalf of my husband, for a continuance and was refused unless the other side agreed. Is this lawful? All my husband wishes for is a fair judcial hearing in front of a fair judge. I want to see his get a change of venue to move it out of her former employer's parish completely. We can't afford to keep fighting her and he no longer has an attorney of record because financially this has become a losing financial and moral battle. The story goes on and on with documentation and witnessess to prove my husband's case. Is there anyone who can help him and help his children (my step-children)?
Sincerely,
Laura

You REALLY need to hire an attorney. This is a matter that is complicated and you should not be handling it pro se. If your story is accurate, the judge should recuse himself. If he does not do so willingly you need to have an attorney file a Motion to Recuse. It is important you know it will be necessary to hire an attorney for the entire case, attorney's can be subject to discipline if they take a client solely to file a motion to recuse. Don't do this on your own. Typically, it makes the judge angry and he may initially refuse. It brings into question, if done in open court, his fairness in handling cases. Judges, in general, consider themselves to be fair, and questioning this character trait tends to anger them. State courts, like federal courts, have a constitutional obligation to safeguard personal liberties and to uphold federal law. The law requires that they be neutral and hold any trial on an unbiased basis.
