Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Re: judge recusal

A judge's recusal is a matter of his or her discretion. That being said, if this is brought to the judge's attention in a proper motion, most judges would recuse themselves if they work directly with siblings or parents of parties.

Re: judge recusal

If you and/or your attorney bring to the Judge's attention in an appropriate motion your relationship to the two people who work for him and question his ability to be impartial, he may in his discretion recuse himself. Good Luck!

Re: judge recusal

It depends on the facts. This alone does not give me enough information, and the role of the party and the type of action.
