Critising via purshis on courts decisions or expressinging agony ..is it contempt?
Husband is defending his divorce case of cruelty, since last 2.8 years!
Judges are also changed in whole period.
New judge is simply harrassing me. He looks biased and prejudiced. He is using his discretionary powers only to contradict all my averments and blasts on every hearing, and does not allow me to even narrate delaying tactics by wife's lawyer.
They are all joined hands. And now started cribbing that I am still not giving up and not ready to buckle.
I WANT TO OPENLY AND ON RECORD ASK HIM WHY PREJUDICED TRETMENT IS BEING MET TO ME with all examples in six months.
Is it contempt of court to ask or state your feelings via a 'purshis'?
Judge only teaches me rules (to which he contradicts himself on subsequent date.)
Since last six months, other party is dragging the matter, and postponing 'framing of issue'
Other party produced some docs for endorsement, it was set for 'other side to say'. But no copy was given to me.
When I raised this issue in writing an application, judge pressurised me to suppress and withdraw it and
Judge said to me that 'Court decides whether to give copy to other party or not! You no longer have any adv and hence you don't know rules'
Is this correct? then what is the 'service of the process'?
Then when other party gets chance to raise preliminary objections?
Judge simply ignored 'opposite party's acts of filing things behind my back and also not giving a copy of it' , and judge went on to take their side.
There are atleast 5 instances of such incidents.
Before filign 'trasfer petition' I want to file purshis to the same judge as to express my views politely.
I know imputation on judge for 'tranfer petition' boomrangs. That's wh I would prefer to raise my agony and dipleasure with court politely and and midest possible language.
But doing so, is it a contempt of court or dictating the court about his discretionary decisions and orders?

Just go ahead and Blast the Judge and other-side advocate the way you want to, because the Family Courts are governed by Family Court Act and the Act says parties should not be represented by advocates and if Judge is saying that you don`t know rules just blast him this does not amount to contempt as per Family Court act.
