Bizarre Rucki Hearing Leaves Little Clarity
(Sandra Grazzini-Rucki)
A bizarre hearing ended abruptly in the Rucki case.
A hearing held on August 7, 2018, was supposed to hear
testimony for a motion brought by Sandra Grazzini-Rucki to modify her child
support- currently at $975 per month.
But things quickly turned into chaos in a courtroom where
the judge, Jan Davidson, had little control.
The whole hearing was less than twenty minutes, and it ended
abruptly with Davidson suddenly and without explanation cutting off ongoing
testimony to state, “I’ll issue my order by mail.”
No order could properly be rendered because the motion to
modify the custody was never heard.
For approximately the first half of the hearing, the two
sides argued about whether Lisa Elliott had properly served Sandra Grazzini-Rucki
with two affidavits she’d filed with the court.
The two affidavits are remarkable themselves in their
dichotomy.
On the one hand, Elliott submits an affidavit which is
nothing more than three articles with Michael Brodkorb wrote on his blog which
he dedicates to nothing but the story. Elliott’s paralegal, Allison Mann, even
works on some of the stories with Brodkorb.
On the other hand, David Rucki submitted an affidavit in
which he argued he should not submit to one of Davidson’s previous orders.
Rucki did not want to provide tax returns, even though
Davidson had ordered him. He argued that they might be shared with the media,
namely me.
“I am respectfully notifying the court that I will not be
turning over my tax returns,” Rucki said in the affidavit, while also blaming
me. “Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a copy of various emails from Michael
Volpe an ‘investigative reporter’ who lives in Chicago and is working with
Petitioner.”
In other words, David Rucki is in favor of media attention used
in court in this case, if that media attention favors him; if it exposes him,
he considers it harassing. Talk about hypocritical for a guy who has
interviewed with the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the Sun Current, the local Fox
station, 20/20, and others.
Attached are a series of emails I’ve sent to everyone I
believe is responsible in any way for the atrocity inflicted on Sandra
Grazzini-Rucki.
That
affidavit can be found here. Also, Lisa
Elliott’s affidavit citing Missing in Minnesota is here.
Normally violating a court order should result in a contempt
of court citation, but none was issued during the hearing.
After that was argued for about half the hearing, David
Rucki and Sandra Grazzini-Rucki were sworn in when my name came up again.
I had gotten a hold of the affidavits and emailed them with
questions- including to the judge- prior to the hearing and Grazzini-Rucki was
asked if she provided them to me (she said no).
Then, Judge Davidson noted that she had received emails from
me but that she did not open them and only forwarded them to a supervisor who
“has been forwarding them to the authorities,” suggesting I did not have a
first amendment right to send her and all her colleagues emails about this
case.
David Rucki then testified.
He claimed he still made $50,000 per year working for TL
Rucki- the company his family started and he claimed to have owned as recently
as two years ago- even though he has not provided tax documents to confirm this
and he lives in a mansion while owning three other homes.
Throughout his testimony which lasted five to ten minutes,
Sandra Grazzini-Rucki interjected with objections.
She first objected to moving forward without David Rucki
having to supply his tax documents, though the court had ordered it.
As a result, Rucki was then questioned by the judge about
why he was not submitting them.
He repeated the same complaints he’d made in his affidavit,
including: that it would be posted on the internet, that he’s being harassed,
and that his family had already been through enough.
“I’m tired of being persecuted,” Rucki stated at one point.
Rucki claimed that his personal tax documents had been
plastered on the internet, but at one point, Sandra Grazzini-Rucki noted that
he’s never submitted any tax documents to be plastered.
“There is nothing on the internet because he has never provided
any documents once over seven years,” she stated.
The Dakota County attorney then claimed that all appropriate
income related documents had been filed- though again Judge Davidson ordered
him to provide tax documents- when Grazzini-Rucki noted that a “prism report”
was not filed.
PRISM stands for Providing
Resources to Improve Support in Minnesota and it is managed by Minnesota’s
Department of Human Services.
“County and state child support staff and contractors who provide
centralized receipting services use PRISM” DHS says of who uses it.
Sandra
Grazzini-Rucki said that there was no PRISM report and that she was told this
was either because he was not using a social security number or because he was
an employer not an employee.
Rucki then
claimed he received 1099s from TL Rucki Trucking, though he’d previously
claimed to receive W2s.
This caused
another argument before Judge Davidson abruptly ended the hearing claiming she
would render her order by mail.
Sandra
Grazzini-Rucki had not yet even been allowed to present a case nor was the
substance of her motion ever discussed.
Grazzini-Rucki was released from prison in May, finally completing her sentence for her role in hiding her two daughters from her ex-husband. She is still on parole but was served with papers to re-start her child suppot while still in prison.
Though she has not had steady employment since being arrested in 2015, numerous Minnesota judges- Maria Pastoor, Jill Flaskamps-Halbrooks, and for now Davidson- have allowed her income to be imputed- or set artificially by these judges- in order to generate child support of nearly $1,000 per month.

The Rucki Saga Continues
David Rucki is planning on violating another court order, but it is his ex-wife who will be in the proverbial hot seat.
David Rucki has been required to provide detailed financial
documents in his child support hearing, but I have learned that he will refuse,
arguing that he’s concerned that tax documents will be leaked if he provides
them in court.
Though David Rucki received 100% of their multi-million-dollar
estate- including a multi-million dollar business, four homes, and nine classic
cars- a Magistrate named Maria Pastoor still found in 2016 that Sandra Grazzini-Rucki
owed her ex-husband $975 monthly in child support.
Grazzini-Rucki has been fighting the order ever since.
There are only two Rucki children (they have five total) who are now under eighteen- they had three under 18 at the time of the order- so that has now been reduced to $848 per month.
There are only two Rucki children (they have five total) who are now under eighteen- they had three under 18 at the time of the order- so that has now been reduced to $848 per month.
On July 19, 2018, Magistrate Judge Jan Davidson held a
hearing on a motion by Grazzini-Rucki to reduce her child support.
At that hearing, Davidson noted, “she did not have any
information about Mr. Rucki’s current employment and it appears that his wages
were coming from his own company.” according to a filing by Grazzini-Rucki.
David Rucki was then ordered by Davidson to hand over his
tax returns and other personal financial documents.
“I will not be turning over my tax returns and/or private
financial documents,” David Rucki is planning on saying.
Furthermore, he’s provided his ex-wife with no tax
documentation while I’ve learned he most recently claimed to make less than
$25,000 yearly, without ever providing proof.
He further states that his income has not changed since
2016, a dubious statement given he’s a multi-millionaire now claiming to make
less than $25,000 per year.
It is a laughable figure since he lives in Lakeville, Minnesota,
one of the most affluent suburbs in the country.
The assertion is even more laughable given that David Rucki claims to work for TL Rucki Trucking, a company he's owned but recently claimed was moved into his sister's name a couple years ago.
The assertion is even more laughable given that David Rucki claims to work for TL Rucki Trucking, a company he's owned but recently claimed was moved into his sister's name a couple years ago.
It’s the latest in a series of moves by the new judge, Jan
Davidson, which has continued a pattern of harassment against by Dakota
District Court against Grazzini-Rucki.
Davidson has refused to mail to Grazzini-Rucki her order
(which required the production of loads of documents) from the previous
hearing.
She continues to allow Lisa Elliott to serve Michelle
MacDonald, who was Grazzini-Rucki’s attorney but has since been removed from
the case. Though MacDonald has not been on the case for approximately six
months, Elliott regularly submits copies of her filings to MacDonald.
Meanwhile, Sandra Grazzini-Rucki is still on probation finishing her criminal sentence from approximately two years ago. With six felonies on her record, she has little hope of securing employment to pay the child support; she has been left homeless, moving from home to home, since being forcibly removed from her home in September 2012.

What is Social Security Title IVD
Remarkably, David Rucki is attempting to collect this child
support from his ex-wife using Social Security Title IVD funding.
Social Security Title IVD “was
created under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act to help ensure financial
support for children throughout the country. The IV-D child support program,
federally administered by the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE), helps
parents establish legal paternity and obligations for child support, and to
enforce support obligations. IV-D child support programs are operated by every
U.S. state, managed either by the state or individual county of the applicant.”
According to a statement from the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS).
In other words, David Rucki, a
multi-millionaire with access to the best lawyers, is using a federal program
which sends money to the state to hunt down his ex-wife and chase her for child
support.
Remarkably, David Rucki qualifies because the program is not
means tested; here’s more from the Minnesota DHS: “In
Minnesota, most cases are managed by the county of the applicant and awards are made by the courts in that county (sometimes a second
county could get involved if a parent moves). Child support services are
available to anyone who applies (emphasis mine). To be clear, the Child
Support program does not provide ‘financial benefits’ to anyone. It does provide services to parents
who need to establish paternity, establish a child support order or enforce a
child support order. These services are intended to ensure children
receive financial support from both their parents.”
Because
they are not means tested, Anne Stevenson, writing in Huffington Post noted of
Title IVD funding: “These
HHS policies created a new breed of dangerous Welfare Kings through HHS Office of Child Support Enforcement when it
began subsidizing the homes and legal battles of the unfit, unwilling, and
violent fathers.”
She quoted Larry Holland and Jason Bottomsly who said: “Despite the
original intent of the IV-D welfare program, it now provides an incentive for
the states to use their family courts to produce forcibly absent parents in
order to increase the states’ IV-D welfare caseload.”
The Dakota County Operations Manager, Jean Baldwin, did not provide any
comment, only saying that all these issues should be argued at the next court
hearing, August 7, 2018 at 10AM Central Time.
Emails to Judge Davidson along with Lisa Elliott and Beau Berentson,
the public affairs officer for the Minnesota Courts, were left unreturned.
