Dear spouse:
Greetings. First, I will not say anything negative here about any judge…as I respect the difficulty of making decisions for other people that are so diametrically opposed. Now, I am not sure what your question is. When a case is remanded (sent back) by the court of appeals, it is always sent back to the judge who made the decision. I cannot imagine that any trial judge, no matter the case, would be happy about their decision being overruled and remanded. So, it will have to go to the same judge as they were the ones to hear the situation.
If you have an issue like child custody or alimony - then you have the right to have a jury involved in the original trial to ensure that you get a panel of people to make a decision. Thank you.
