When a new judge is assigned, the parties have 10 days within which to decide if they wish the new judge to step down from the case, or not. Each party gets one recusal [swear off one judge]. When a new judge is assigned, then each party has one recusal again. One recuses a judge when that judge has some association with the case or is perceived to be biased in some fashion.

I can't give you specific advice from your question because it is somewhat unclear exactly what has transpired in your case. It may be that you sister has done something improper. Please call me to discuss [at no charge for the call]. My Albuquerque number is 888-4409. Time is of the essence - you may lose rights if you don't act quickly.
