Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

If my Divorce decree modification request is judged to be not in my favor, do I have any appeal options? The divorce judge I have has consistently been biased towards my spouse. How do I request a change in divorce judge on my case? What are the odds of success?

Thank You
