Divorce Support Forums: Ex's lawyer fundraiser 4 divorce judge. Unethical?

I just heard that a lawyer my exwife had during our divorce campaigned for the judge hearing my case. Isn't this unethical conduct? If so what statute does it fall under? What can I do as I believe (and believed at the time) that I was being unfairly treated. For example, the lawyer told the courts that my exwife couldn't make a court hearing after I traveled 250 miles to be there because she had been in an auto accident. I said, "Check and see if it is true by calling the police dispatch where the accident was suppose to have occurred." The truth came out that not only was my ex lying but so was her attorney about the matter. The judge did NOTHING! However, when I couldn't make a court hearing that I initiated I got held in contempt. Also, I was not working at the time of the divorce but I got hit with permanent alimony even though ex was working making $50,000/ yr. I know for a fact that what I heard about this fundraising is true because the source is credible. Any suggestions on what I should do?

P.S. The campaign fundraising came BEFORE the divorce.
