In a Minnesota family law case, each party has one opportunity to remove the assigned judge without having to provide a reason. The case is then assigned to a different judge. The removal must be made within ten days, and must be made before the judge takes any substantive action on the case.
If someone wants to remove the judge after reassignment, after the ten day deadline, or after the judge has taken substantive action on the case, it requires the judge’s assent (either by the judge’s own action, or by the requesting party’s motion). Many parties wish for, or even seek, removal in these instances; but relatively, very few are granted.
i had filed for removal due to the judge being bias and taking the moms hearsay vs facts. now i filed a 120 page of facts only such as 26 days of school being missed, taking the 6 year old deer hunting, i even have letter from teacher and principle stating that our daughter failing school due to the mother not getting her to school. this motion was for a change of custody. the mother then stop letting me see or talk to my daughter. the judge stated no prima facia case proven and now parenting time hearing he set to see if i will ever see my daughter again. he denied my motion to remove. now what? leave my daughter in the medical abuse, educational neglect, emotional abuse. verbal abuse as it was shown on her face book statements.
