What would be a good excuse to change a family court judge in my case?

*In the absence of a violation of the express statutory provisions, bias or prejudice or unworthy motive on the part of a judge, unconnected with an interest in the controversy, is not cause for disqualification, unless it is shown to affect the result. As stated in People v. Patrick, 183 N.Y. 52, 54 (1905), absent a legal disqualification with regard to an objection of "impropriety as distinguished from legal disqualification, the judge himself is the sole arbiter." This discretionary decision is within the personal conscience of the court when an alleged appearance of impropriety arises from inappropriate awareness of "nonjuridical data."

My husband has filed for divorce and left the home, can I change the door locks?

Answered by attorney Ronald L Bornstein (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Ronald Bornstein, Attorney at Law
Though there is nothing preventing you from changing the locks, you don't have a court order giving you exclusive use and possession of the home, at least not yet. Also, if he has a driver's license showing he lives there, he can easily force his way into his own house, or have a locksmith open the door for him and cut him a new key. If you feel you need exclusive use and possession of the house, the better practice would be to have your attorney ask for it in your pleadings, and obtain a court order. Consult with an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation and your options.

Can an attorney drop a divorce case and put a lien on your home or hire a collection agency if you make a good faith small monthly payment ($20) in FL

That all depends on the client's agreement with he attorney.  The attorney can put a lien on assets, even a home, if agreed to in the retainer agreement.  A collection agency can be used to pursue the debt if owed even if small payments are being made. why didn't the client pursue attorneys fees from her spouse in the divorce if he is wealthy?
