What is the name of your state? KS
I had an unfair divorce Judge about 10 years ago. In itself that statement by just me doesn't mean much, but after I appealed her ruling to the Kansas Appeals Court, the appeals court called her "Unreasonable" and "Obviously Hexed" against me. Afterwards, another request for recusal was filed and she finally recused herself. Harsh words were spoken about this.
I recently filed a libel lawsuit, which partially involves the divorce/custody from above. And lo and behold, the case was assigned to this same Judge.
I had thought that this Judge would have just automatically turned this case over to another Judge, but she has already started to make some preliminary decisions in regards to Discovery, (nothing that would denote for or against me), but I worry that she might have a grudge against me.
Obviously I cannot just write her a letter, and request that she was recused prior, as that would be an ex-parte communication, so it appears that my only alternative is to file a recusal? Are there any rules about a recused Judge not being allowed to hear any future cases that relate to the case they were recused on?
