The following is the tragic story of a loving mother, Julie Valadez who suffered domestic abuse and had been allegedly raped on multiple occasions by her abusive spouse Ricardo Valadez that eventually ended in a divorce. She has also gone through years of suffering after her 4 special needs children were illegally taken away by Waukesha County family court Judge Michael J. Aprahamian and then reaffirmed by Judge Ralph Ramirez, two known corrupt and inept judges that failed to follow state laws protecting domestic abused victims and their children including ignoring Wisconsin State of Appeals court decisions claiming alleged illegal acts committed in the Valadez divorce case by both judges. The children were placed in sole custody of the abusing spouse by Judge Aprahamian.

Wuakesha, WI - Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) first broke the story on August 2021 and was later picked up by other media sources and to date, the Waukesha County family court continues to be the most corrupt judicial system that has failed countless families going through a divorce due to inept and corrupt judges who continuously practice their own interpretations of state laws and who have failed to follow Wisconsin state laws, which also includes ignoring appellate decisions from the Wisconsin State Court of Appeals rulings to reverse their decisions of alleged illegal acts committed in the Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorce case (2018FA000296) in Waukesha County.
Julie has been given credit for being the first domestic abused victim in Wisconsin to publicly document her tragic plight on her Facebook account, which includes countless documents, court transcripts and filed appeals showing the illegal acts and decisions committed by both Judges Aprahamian and Ramirez including the alleged illegal acts by Guarian ad Litem (GAL) attorney Molly J. Jasmer in the Valadez divorce case.
Ricardo Valadez is also known as Rick, a former Pastor at Brookside Baptist Church in Waukesha.
To date, both Aprahamian and Ramirez haven't been removed from the bench or held accountable for their illegal acts while on the bench by the Wisconsin Department of Justice or the Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers office including the Republican controlled legislature and the Wisconsin Judicial Commission that supposedly handles complaints about judicial impropriety. In other words, rogue judges that allegedly commit illegal acts, ignore state laws and ignore WI State of Appeals Court rulings are not held accountable in Wisconsin.
In July 2022, a recall effort to unseat both Aprahamian and Ramirez in Waukesha County failed to get enough signatures to hold a recall election to remove them from the bench. No local mainstream media outlets other than HNNUSA reported the recall effort.
On December 6, 2022, Judge Ramirez denied Julie’s request to appear by Zoom (virtual appearance) for a court hearing motion to relocate case to another venue and summary judgement filed by Julie. Ramirez had ordered for an in-person court appearance by all involved in the case. GAL attorney Jasmer filed motion to find Julie in default for not appearing, which Julie was actually waiting in the Zoom waiting room, but Judge Ramirez wouldn't allow her to appear by Zoom for the hearing. (A judge must make accommodations for everyone to appear whether by in-person or by Zoom, if the person filing a motion for the purpose of hearing can't appear, then the hearing is rescheduled to allow the individual to appear. In this case, Ramirez definitely appears to discriminate with inappropriate judgement to hold a hearing without the individual that filed the motion(s).)
The Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorce case strongly indicates that the Waukesha County family court is allegedly operating as a criminal enterprise without a state audit and accountability. The Wisconsin Judicial Commission also has had no history of being audited by the state to check, if the Judicial Commission actually investigates corrupt and inept judges in Wisconsin when complaints are filed by victims.
HNNUSA on Thursday received a press release from Kathy 'Alamea-Xian, the Executive Director of Protective Makua, a State of Hawaii non-profit organization that claims Julie currently has refugee status as a political refugee for domestic abuse and unjust persecution in Wisconsin. 'Alamea-Xian also claims that this case reveals continuing unlawful acts by a rogue court under presiding Judge Ralph Ramirez, Julie has faced unjust persecution and continued forced separation without just cause, in retaliation for marring the reputation of the Waukesha family court, over which the Judge Jennifer Dorow, now running for a seat for the state's Supreme Court, formerly presided as its Chief Judge.
The following is the press release from the Protective Makua organization.
Wisconsin domestic abuse survivor, Julie C. Valadez won four appeals finding that the Waukesha family court unlawfully placed her four children in the sole custody of her undisputed domestic abuser, Ricardo Valadez.
BACK STORY: Waukesha family court's Judge Michael Aprahamian and GAL Molly Jasmer sought to unlawfully criminalize Julie for fraudulent contempt charges***, because they had no way to justify their illegal taking of Julie's four children.
*** The Wisconsin Court of Appeals found this to be unlawful and vacated these malicious attempts earlier this year. The Court of Appeals also found that the placement of Julie's children with their undisputedly determined domestic abuser, Ricardo Valadez, was also unlawful.
However, instead of following the directive of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, Judge Ramirez decided to redo the entire divorce matter, allowing Ramirez and GAL Molly Jasmer continue their unlawful placement of the children with their domestic abuser and further their intent to unjustly incarcerate or involuntarily commit Julie in egregious violation of her Constitutional rights.
The illegal takings of her children, abrogation of her custody rights, and continued forced separation of her and her children is already unconstitutional.
During Judge Ramirez's unconscionable retrial of Julie's divorce matter he improperly scheduled a three-day hearing which lacked notice or a discovery period and where Ramirez harassed, sanctioned, and actually stopped the proceeding for 15 minutes at a time for Julie objecting to Ramirez's denials of her constitutional rights and for her requests to have him clarify what motion was being heard that day, since the notice was unclear. Each sanction against Julie amounted to $100 per instance.
As a result of Ramirez's behavior in qualifying Julie's right to object and request to clarify as "interruptions" he set Julie up to be vulnerable to instant incarceration for contempt. This was after Ramirez effectively precluded Julie from her right to an attorney when he gave her only two weeks to seek representation then stated, "there is no attorney who would come here on June 1st and say 'I can be ready by those dates.'" stated in hearing on May 16, 2022. Due to the credible threat of arrest without a lawyer present to protect her, Julie left the proceeding in fear of such real possibility.
PAST INJUNCTIONS
Julie's previously granted Domestic Abuse Injunction, to which her abuser stipulated, in Waukesha County was improperly assigned to Judge Ramirez by Hon. Jennifer Dorow when Julie filed for an extension to the Injunction. It was unjustly dismissed by Ramirez for failure to prosecute.
Over the pendency of this case, Julie has had to constantly relocate due to the continuing threat of domestic abuse and likelihood of lethality by Ricardo Valadez as well as the Waukesha court's unlawful acts leading to the disclosure of her Wisconsin Department of Justice Safe-at-Home address (protected by the Wisconsin Department of Justice).
After an unlawful disclosure prompted by the Waukesha family court, someone attempted to break into Julie's home. She immediately relocated again and had to relocate a total of four times due to acts initiated by Waukesha family court leading to the unlawful continuing disclosures of Julie's residential address protected by the Safe-at-Home program.
Julie filed for a petition for an Injunction in Dane County using her Safe-at-Home address, and after a 20-minute soliloquy wherein which Judge Remington seems to litigate the matter in his own head, Judge Remington dismissed Julie's injunction after disclosing on the record that Judge Ramirez is an old law school friend of his.
If a party is physically unable to be in court, a judge may not schedule a hearing knowing she cannot attend, for good cause.
Because of the unlawful persecution of Julie by Waukesha County Court, Julie has obtained refugee status in a foreign country as a political refugee fleeing domestic abuse lethality and unjust persecution.
Therefore, Julie has a due process right to appear via zoom or phone because she cannot physically attend in person, which the judges in Waukesha have known for a while now, because of their past and ongoing attempts to unjustly persecute Julie frivolously based on fraudulent actions of GALs. Julie has not committed any crime.
What is happening to Julie Valadez is indeed a court sanctioned witch hunt in political retaliation for her appellate court wins, drawing light to the unlawful behavior of the Waukesha County Court, over which Hon. Jennifer Dorow presided as Chief Judge at the time.
But the court's unlawful behavior not only affects Julie and her four children, but also dozens of innocent mothers in Waukesha in the same proceedings with the same judges, pointing to entrenched institutionalized sexism.
FACTS TO KNOW
MYTH: Julie is overreacting and past domestic abuse "wasn't that bad."
FACT: Ricardo Valadez pled the 5th for repeatedly raping and repeatedly threatening to kill Julie in the civil divorce case resulting from an initial criminal case against Ricardo Valadez for domestic abuse. He has also admitted for the record to committing perjury, hitting his disabled children.
MYTH: Julie has abandoned her children.
FACT: Julie fled Wisconsin because of Ricardo Valadez's threats to kill her and the court's malicious prosecution, unlawful criminalization, threats to imprisonment, unsubstantiated allegations of mental illness from the bench (disproven), and other unlawful procedures. Julie currently has refugee status as a political refugee for domestic abuse and unjust persecution.
MYTH: Julie's actions in absentia have harmed her children, especially her Facebook posts about the court's unlawful behavior.
FACT: These allegations are based on the junk science of parental alienation, which is inadmissible in courts as these allegations are without causation, not science-based, and fail evidentiary standards for courts to consider them true. There has been no proof that her facebook posts, defending herself and exposing the court personnel and asking for her children has been correlated to any harm on the children. Her children are traumatized from being forcibly separated from Julie and have since been coerced, enticed, and forced to comply with their undisputed domestic abuser. Hence they must do and say what he wants them to do or say.
MYTH: Julie is responsible for not sending EBV to school.
FACT: EBV's truancy was fabricated and concocted while he was attending school virtual during the global pandemic in an act of fraud to justify the GAL Molly Jasmer's illegal takings her son and subsequently her other three children.
MYTH: Julie has rejected seeing her children in supervised visitation opportunities.
FACT: First, supervised visitation is grossly unwarranted here. Julie is not the abuser, Ricardo Valadez is the abuser. Second, Julie has been trying daily to facilitate communication with her children through the children's individual and family therapy sessions she has set up and that they have ongoing. Ricardo Valadez has aggressively blocked Julie's efforts to see her children.
