To initiate a motion to recuse a judge from hearing a case, a party must typically file a written motion stating the reasons for the recusal request. This motion should be supported by specific facts or evidence showing bias or conflict of interest on the part of the judge. The decision to recuse the judge ultimately lies with the judge themselves or with a higher court if the judge refuses to recuse.

Would there be grounds for a motion to recuse if a judge got out of her chair to attend to a child and then took that child and held it during court proceedings?

The only reason a judge would be required to recuse themselves from hearing a case would be if there was some reason that they could not make an impartial decision, either due to a prior relationship with someone involved in case that they might be biased for or against, or because of known views about a specific issue that the case may depend upon. Showing compassion for a child they did not know previously and comforting that child doesn't mean they can't weigh the facts of the case.
