Christoph Ernst Friedrich von Forcade de Biaix was the son of Rittmeister Friederich Georg Leopold von Forcade de Biaix (* 9 January 1793 in Winzig, Breslau; † June 1831 in Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia) and his wife Anna Maria, Freiin von Krane zu Matena (* 1788 in Münster; † 8 November 1884 in Soest, North Rhine-Westphalia). He was born protestant but converted to catholicism after his marriage.
On 16 September 1860, Forcade-Biaix was married in the Protestant parish of Bochum, North Rhine-Westphalia with Isabella Maria Aloysia Franziska Ferdinandine Wallpurgis Huberta Felicitas, Freiin von Romberg, daughter of Klemens Konrad Franz, Freiherr von Romberg, on Brünninghausen and Buldern and Marianne, Gräfin von Fürstenberg, from the house of Neheim. The marriage produced one son and three daughters.
He was the great-grandson of Royal Prussian Lieutenant General Friedrich Wilhelm Quirin von Forcade de Biaix (1698-1765), one of King Frederick the Great's most active and most treasured officers, himself the son of Prussian noble Jean de Forcade de Biaix (1663-1729), also a Royal Prussian Lieutenant General, an early Huguenot immigrant to Brandenburg-Prussia and a descendent of the noble family of Forcade of Béarn, France.

Forcade-Biaix completed his secondary education at the Gymnasium in Soest[2] and studied Case Law at the universities of Bonn,[1] Göttingen[2] and Berlin.[1] He began a career in law in 1844 and became Judge in the District Court[2] of Bochum in 1855, Appellate Court Judge[2] in Hamm in 1865 and Supreme Court Judge[2] in Berlin in 1873.
From 1874 to 1877 he was a member of the German Reichstag for the Centre and the constituency of the government district of Dusseldorf 5 (Essen).[1][3] On 24 November 1877, he advanced through the by-election in the constituency of government district of Trier 1 (Daun, Prüm, Bitburg),[1] winning the seat that had been held by Member of Parliament Ferdinand von Hompesch-Bollheim. In July 1878, he was reelected to the same seat.[1] On 1 October 1879, he was appointed to the V.
