Legal ethics would make the judge declare the relationship. Depending on what the relationship is and the availability of another judge (usually not an issue), they may recuse themselves. There is no law that requires him or her to be or not be your judge. Tell your lawyer and he/she will post the objection. Odds are, that judge will never hear your case.
