Key legal question
Whether the presiding judge in the divorce proceedings had to be recused for appearance of bias.
Extracted holding
No objective circumstances showed bias or an appearance of bias; the recusal request was unfounded.
Extracted reasoning
The complained-of acts concerned case management and procedural rulings. Even if some were questionable, they did not amount to particularly serious or repeated errors suggesting partiality; review of such rulings belongs to the ordinary appeal system, not recusal proceedings.
