My name is Elizabeth Fitzgibbon, and I\u2019m in the middle of an unprecedented legal nightmare that will soon be at the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
In 2023, a Wisconsin court finalized my divorce using a forged agreement \u2014 one that I never consented to, never signed, and that falsely claims approval by a long-retired official who never saw it. Despite undeniable evidence that our final, intended Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) was lost by the court itself, the judge fabricated a version based on false testimony and backdated it to cover up the court\u2019s mistake. My rights \u2014 as a mother and a citizen \u2014 have been steamrolled in favor of speed and self-protection for the system.<\/p>\n
Now, because I refuse to comply with this falsified judgment, my liberty is being threatened by the very judge responsible for this unconstitutional process. I am being punished not for breaking the law, but for standing up for it.<\/p>\n
This fight is no longer just legal \u2014 it’s about survival. And it demands immediate national attention.<\/p>\n
This case is headed to the U.S. Supreme Court. But truth alone is not always enough \u2014 public support can change everything. Here are some things that supporters of this cause can do:<\/p>\n
I\u2019m fighting for accountability, a lawful and fair divorce, and a system that does not let judges rewrite facts to protect themselves. This case could impact families, legal fairness, and constitutional rights far beyond mine.<\/p>\n
Thank you for standing with me.<\/p>\n

Three years into this unprecedented legal crisis, I find myself at the same pivotal crossroads I faced on April 26, 2022\u2014still awaiting a proper divorce and a just resolution to what has become a defining family law case. I urgently need your help, as the absence of meaningful recourse not only jeopardizes my family\u2019s future, but it also sets a dangerous precedent for MSAs that could have far-reaching consequences that could affect countless others.<\/p>\n
In 2020, Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Grassl Bradley issued a stark warning,\u00a0\u201cDivorced Wisconsinites beware: from this day forward, a court may at any time rewrite the terms of your marital settlement agreement if your former spouse comes to court pleading \u2018unfair.\u2019\u201d<\/em>\u00a0This is not merely a cautionary tale\u2014it is a grim reality that exposes an alarming trend: agreements once thought to be final and binding are now vulnerable to arbitrary revision at the court\u2019s discretion, leaving lives in disarray.<\/p>\n My case, however, amplifies this concern to an unprecedented level. Not only did the court lose the terms of our divorce, leaving us erroneously divorced under an outdated MSA, but Judge Keberlein then fabricated a \u201creconstructed\u201d MSA based on false testimony, imposed a divorce without my consent, and is now attempting to compel my compliance under threat of penalty.<\/p>\n If my case remains unresolved, it will fuel the very risks Justice Bradley warned about\u2014an erosion of the foundation of marriage and divorce law. Contradictory rulings from both the circuit and appellate courts have already opened the door to a system where the state\u2019s involvement in marriages and divorces could be questioned or, more alarmingly, rendered irrelevant. Even more concerning is the possibility that the state could act without the consent of the citizens it governs, undermining the fundamental principles of family law.<\/p>\n On this page, you will find specific actions where your support is urgently needed. At this moment, the most critical need is for pressure to be applied to those in positions of power\u2014whether it be Judge Keberlein, Sheriff Matz, the Judicial Commission, your state representative, or the media.<\/p>\n Below, you\u2019ll find customizable call-to-action letter templates designed to help you take immediate action.
