Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: motion to remove judge

A motion to recuse would be appropriate in this case only for conflict of interest, bias, or some other serious disqualification. It is not a motion to be brought lightly. It is an assertion that the judge is not acting in a judicial fashion for some well-defined reason. Be sure that you can prove the assertion if you bring the motion.

Your allegation that your granddaughter was falsely incarcerated is a serious allegation. If it has any validity you should have no trouble in obtaining the services of a local attorney to bring an action for false imprisonment, of course the burden of proof is steep. Serious allegations are usually allegations that need to be supported by serious quantities of proof.

If you have, indeed, spent anything close to $109,000 in attorney's fees on this case without any favorable result, then almost to a certainty there are serious differences between the facts that you are alleging and the facts which are proveable. You should talk to the attorney that was paid the $109,000 and find out from him/her exactly what the case status is and what the case problems are.

Did you hire the attorney or did you give the money to your granddaughter who, in turn, hired the attorney? I am impressed that that quantity of money could be spent without obtaining a clearer understanding and statement of what the problem is.

I recommend obtaining the services of a local attorney, empowering him to engage the services of a qualified investigator, and getting to the bottom of this case.
