Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

If I had a previous court order for maitence and my ex said he isn't working but is. I filed on my own a petition to ask for all records unemployment 401k accounts tax returns etc. u know he is working. But the issue at hand is a new petition based in a former one for support. The judge was appointed but hasn't heard this case yet but my ex great attorneys are asking for new judge. Why? I know they can by law. But what can u Di or say in court to the judge that is correct to keep this judge for my petition. Must be a reason they r asking to replace him?? I got no maintence for 4 years and now asking again for this! Are they afraid of this judge? I have to represent myself I'm not working much filed bankruptcy list a lease option on a condo due to no maintence!! I need to be smart in court to say the right thing to keep this judge!! Help I'm nervous!

As I said in my last answer, if they have not previously sought a change, nothing you can do or say will allow the judge to keep the case. Use your energy on other issues you are confronted with, as the "SOJ" must be granted - for whatever reason you may think they want to do it.
