What is the correct procedure for me to take if I want to get the judge dealing with proceedings between my wife and I "off my case" because she is totally biased against me?

You need to make an application to the judge to disqualify him/herself from dealing with your case. This can be made in writing, or orally, during a hearing. You need to prove a 'substantial risk of bias' against you, to the extent that you will not get a fair hearing. In practice, such applications are very difficult to prove, and are only successful in the most extreme cases.

If the judge refuses to disqualify him/herself you will have to decide whether to appeal against the decison to the President of the Supreme Court, or to back down and let him/her continue managing the case, and apepal against the final judgment, latter if the result is not to  your satisfaciton.
