I have custody due to the father signing an affidavit of parentage because we were never married. I also have an established custodial enivonment for my daughter. The father is claiming that he has this and I am now in court because I have to prove to the judge why I want custody. I do not what it changed. I am wondering why I have to fight him for custody when I already have it? Why doesn't he have to prove why I should have custody taking from me? I am so confused. Also Is there a conflict of interest if the Judge and my ex who is a police officer, know each other outside this case? The Judge lives in the small city where my ex is a cop. The Judge is new but before he was Judge, he was an attorney in that city and has lived in that city for years. The Judge is always siding with my ex no matter what evidence I throw his way. Is it possible to get another Judge? The case was orginally assigned to another Judge but then reassigned to the current one
