Even Yavapai County Superior Court Judge John Napper, who ordered the documents unsealed, has described the case as \u201cone of the most garden variety divorce files I have ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That reality is a far cry from what Gallego\u2019s GOP rival in the race, Kari Lake, has hyped as an explosive and potentially damaging revelation less than a month before the election.<\/p>\n<p>In a joint statement released after the documents were unsealed, Ruben and Kate Gallego demanded an apology from Lake, who ran ads deriding the Arizona congressman as a \u201cdeadbeat dad\u201d who \u201cabandoned his family\u201d shortly before Kate Gallego gave birth to their son.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe demand an apology from Kari Lake for lying about our family and the circumstances of our divorce,\u201d the Gallegos said. \u201cShe will stop at nothing to score a cheap political point \u2013 even if it meant endangering the privacy and well-being of our young son.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have long put our child before all else and will continue to do so. The judge in this case has recognized how standard the records are, and it is shameful that Lake, her allies, and those who amplify her cruelty refuse to respect two people who are just trying to raise a beautiful boy together.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside id=\"ad-secondary-wrap\" class=\"ad-wrap secondary\" aria-label=\"advertisement\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>Caroline Wren, a senior advisor to Lake, said in a statement, &#8220;It\u2019s bizarre that Ruben Gallego would demand an apology from Kari Lake for his appalling behavior,&#8221; adding that the lawsuit &#8220;was filed by an independent media outlet.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If Ruben Gallego will turn his back on his pregnant wife days before she gives birth, he will turn his back on the women of Arizona,&#8221; Wren said. <\/p>\n<p>The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative news organization, filed a lawsuit seeking the records in January.<\/p>\n<p>Attorneys for the Beacon argued in court that the judge erred years ago in sealing the divorce records. At the time, a judge found that the privacy interests of both Ruben and Kate Gallego \u2013 then a new congressman and Phoenix City councilwoman, respectively \u2013 outweighed Arizona\u2019s general open records policy.<\/p>\n<p>Attorneys for the Beacon have said in court that it sought the records because they \u201creflect the character and behavior of a public figure holding and running for federal office,\u201d as well as details concerning the mayor of one of the nation\u2019s largest cities.<\/p>\n<p>Together, the Gallegos fought the Beacon at every step, first to prevent the release of the records entirely, then to redact portions of the divorce filings \u2013 to protect the privacy and safety of their son, they argued.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Edney, an attorney for the Beacon, called the release of the records \u201can important victory for the First Amendment and the freedom of the press.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCourt records are presumptively public, and there is no special exception for aspiring Senators,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Yavapai County Superior Court judge who ordered the records unsealed did agree to redact some portions of the divorce filings, including details about their son and financial information.<\/p>\n<p>The rest, the judge declared, was subject to public record.<\/p>\n<p>What remains unredacted shows a relatively speedy and clearly amicable separation, according to Thea Gilbert, a Tucson-based attorney who specializes in divorces and family law. It\u2019s likely the Gallegos had agreed to most of the terms of their separation before filing for divorce, she said.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"ad-third-wrap\" class=\"ad-wrap third\" aria-label=\"advertisement\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cVery amicable divorces, this is the typical process,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/10\/17\/nx-s1-5155222\/arizona-judge-unseals-gallego-divorce-filings-rejecting-efforts-to-keep-the-records-hidden\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ruben Gallego speaks on August 22, 2024, the final night of the DNC.
