Legal Question in Family Law in California
Can My Ex hire our Settlement Judge as her attorney
Two Settlement Judges were appointed by the court to our Settlement Conference in San Diego, Family Law Court. Settlement conference was last year. My ex has now hired one of these ''judges'' to represent her in our ongoing legal dispute. Legal? Ethical? Thanks.....

Conflict of interest, plain and simple. This person should recuse himself\herself or a recusal motion should be filed.
Good luck to you!
