No one can be unbiased. But we can all be aware of our biases. If a judge is aware of his biases, he can modify his behavior and force himself to think twice and take stock of his feelings and thought processes before making rulings. If a judge believes he cannot set aside his prejudices and rule impartially, he must recuse himself.

What if a judge is biased in a court case?

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.
