Six Key Highlights of the case

Lost Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) and Improper Divorce

Wisconsin’s Winnebago County court system lost the MSA that my “ex”-husband and I believed had finalized our uncontested divorce. As a result, we were erroneously divorced under a previously nullified document on February 7, 2022 by Family Court Commissioner (FCC) John Bermingham. This catastrophic clerical error triggered a chain reaction of legal failures and set the stage for the judicial misconduct that followed.

Inherent Conflict of Interest

When Judge Keberlein was assigned to our case, he was supposed to resolve the severe errors stemming from the court’s initial mistakes. However, his position as an employee of Winnebago County introduced a blatant conflict of interest. Instead of correcting the errors in an impartial manner, he compounded them, further eroding the integrity of the judicial process. By attempting to fix a problem created by the very institution he worked for, Judge Keberlein undermined the fairness and objectivity essential to a just legal system.

Judicial Overreach and Perjury Coercion

On April 26, 2022, FCC Bermingham acknowledged that our MSA was irretrievably lost and ordered that my “ex” and I co-create a new one to properly finalize our divorce. Despite this clear directive, Judge Keberlein grossly overstepped his authority. He coerced us into testifying under false pretenses, pressuring us to commit perjury in an attempt to “recreate” the MSA, even though it had already been deemed irreproducible. This abuse of judicial power further tainted the proceedings and compounded the injustice.

Creation of a Falsified MSA

Rather than properly correcting the court’s original clerical error, Judge Keberlein took matters into his own hands and fabricated a new MSA on January 6, 2023 based on false testimony from my “ex.” Despite openly admitting that he had never seen the lost document, the judge claimed to have successfully reconstructed the missing MSA. In doing so, he perpetuated the court’s error and made a mockery of the legal system by attempting to legitimize a fraudulent process.

 

Unlawful Backdated Divorce Judgment

In a gross display of judicial misconduct, Judge Keberlein unlawfully backdated our divorce to February 7, 2022 using the fabricated MSA as the basis for his decision. This retroactive ruling falsely presented FCC Bermingham as having approved the invalid MSA, despite the FCC’s prior admission that he had never seen it. The judge’s ruling blatantly ignored both truth and fairness, violating the most basic judicial principles and continuing the miscarriage of justice that had already unfolded.

Enforcement of the Invalid MSA

Despite the glaring legal flaws, Judge Keberlein is now actively pursuing the enforcement of the falsified MSA, demanding that I sign quit claim deeds to transfer marital property to my “ex.” This enforcement attempt is rooted in a case fraught with perjury, coercion, and judicial overreach—all of which have compounded the profound injustice I continue to face. These actions not only violate my rights, but also threaten my financial stability and familial future, as I now face the potential for legal and financial penalties for resisting a ruling that was made under false pretenses.
