Yes, you can request a different judge. You have to have valuable reasoning why you want a new judge and you will also need to have the DA accept the change. This all depends on what state that you live in also.

∙ 9y agoGenerally speaking, an individuals attorney can ask for a new judge for their clients case. One example of this can be if the attorney has discovered that the judge appointed to the case has a conflict of interest or is already biased against the defendant. As a clear example, suppose the judge in question had a relative assaulted by the defendant. Normally the judge would recuse from the case. If that does not happen then the attorney will point out a bias and a new judge will be appointed.

It is unethical and illegal for a judge to kill a case. Judges are expected to preside over cases impartially and fairly, and any attempt to manipulate the outcome of a case is a violation of judicial ethics and can lead to severe consequences, including removal from the bench. If there are concerns about a judge's behavior in a case, it should be addressed through appropriate legal channels.

How can you get a custody case changed to another county due to conflict of interest?
You or your attorney will need to file a request for a change of venue. In most cases, there needs to be very expllicit reasons for a change of venue. The most common reasons for change of venue are that the judge is related to one of the litigants (you or your ex) or the jury has been over exposed to the story in the news. You will not normally have a jury case, so you will need to show that the judge is unable to hear and decide the case. This is difficult to do. In addition, you risk making the judge less than friendly to your cause or your side if your point is that he or she is incapable of being unbiased in this case. It is a slight slur to the judge when you clearly state that he or she can't do his job.
