We feel the judge in our case is very biased towards mothers we have 2 court orders showing she has gone against the GAL's in the case ( 3 different ones by her request all saying the same things) and the children's counselor.
There are several fathers in our area who report the same with this judge.
1. can we get another judge assigned ?
2. How do we go about doing it if it is even possible?

Maybe.

You would need to file a motion for voluntary recusal, on grounds that the court is acting in a biased manner, and request that the judge recuse himself from the case.
You would probably want an expert witness (retired judge) to testify that on the facts no reasonable jurist would have ruled in the manner that this judge did.
In short, this is one tough cookie.
