Waukesha, Wisconsin - On Thursday, Waukesha County family court Judge Ralph M. Ramirez in Branch 3 failed to provide full transparency during a conference virtual proceeding during the Julie Valadez v. Ricardo Valadez divorce case #2018FA000296. Judge Ramirez didn't provide a Zoom link for the public and mainstream media to following the divorce case, which the Wisconsin Court of Appeals made five reversals against Michael J. Aprahamian, the prior judge in the case. Julie had filed the court appeals against Aprahamian's five erroneous and illegal contempt acts in his courtroom against Julie.

Ramirez, who is the new judge in the case wasn't that transparent and didn't publicly allow easy access to the Valadez case as required by state law. Anyone following the divorce case and the mainstream media were left out of the conference hearing on Thursday, which the newly released court transcript of the conference proved multiple issues, one that the court hearing wasn't easily made public, secondly, Judge Ramirez failed to decide that Julie should get full custody of her children after Judge Aprahamian erroneously decided to place the children with an alcoholic and domestic abusive father without holding any hearings to revoke Julie's right for custody, thirdly, Judge Ramirez seems to have failed to temporarily remedy the child custody and placement of the four Valadez children as the Wisconsin Court of Appeals so ordered in its reversals of Aprahamian's erroneous contempt acts that led for the father to have custody and left Julie with the dilemma to legally fight to get custody of her children.

Judge Ramirez now wants to have fact finding hearings of the case and didn't take any action to allow Julie to see her children or spent time with them and Ramirez decided to stay what Judge Aprahamian erroneously decided in the case stand after the Wisconsin Court of Appeals ruled against Aprahamian's illegal acts that led the court to illegal prohibit Julie from seeing her children for nearly two years and to have sole custody, since Aprahamian did acknowledge that Julie was a fit parent to have custody of her four children.

The Wisconsin Court of Appeals District II ruled that Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Aprahamian erred in removing full custody from the mother in a divorce case and awarded full custody of their children to the father who was found to be a known domestic abuser and couldn't prove in court that he had complied with state law by submitting to a state certified batterer's treatment program and completing the program as required by law.

The next schedule Zoom status conference virtual hearing in Judge Ramirez's court will be on March 25, 2022.

Case timeline:

In May 2018, a stipulation was entered on the record that Julie would have sole custody and Ricardo would have supervised visits every other weekend. 

On April 9, 2020, Judge Aprahamian changed custody to Ricardo and ordered 50-50 placement. 

On March 18, 2021, Aprahamian temporarily changed placement of E.B.V., one of the Valadez children.

On Aug 13, 2021, Judge Aprahamian temporarily ordered the other three children to be placed with Ricardo, stating he was sending Julie to jail.
