“A Family Court Battle Rooted in Domestic Abuse Julie’s public story began in 2018, when she filed for divorce from her then-husband, Ricardo Valadez, in Waukesha County, Wisconsin. The filing came just months after Ricardo was arrested and charged with domestic abuse. According to court records, he pled guilty to disorderly conduct and domestic abuse. Despite this, in 2020, Judge Michael Aprahamian awarded the father Ricardo custody and primary placement of the couple’s four children. Julie has never been accused nor found to have been abusive in any way.” - https://www.nationalsafeparents.org/articles/from-mom-to-inmate-julie-valadez-jailed-in-wisconsin-for-defying-family-court-nightmare
