I went before this judge around 2021. This judge honestly cares about children & puts the child’s best interest first.
This judge is not playing into the “alienation industry” that puts abusive parents rights before childs rights, safety & well-being.

This judge has some understanding of domestic violence. She’s companionate while also being unbiased.

Both partners did not get 100% what was asked for, but the judge 100% did what was best, least disruptive and least destructive to the child.

Judge Sauceda is a godsend to children that are often collateral damage in the family court system.

I hope we will continue to see this judge hold a seat in Californias family court for a long time.

I feel like mine is a common theme here.

Took the time to compile all relevant texts and medical documentation demonstrating both the lies and misuse of technology and my medical history by my ex. Judge didn’t seem like she read the full file ahead of time nor was familiar with the details provided by either side really. Dismissed all audio and video evidence for both parties inexplicably, relying on false narratives supported by a corrupt local lawyer which was a crucial blow to my defense. This behavior and laziness allowed a corrupt lawyer and client family to walk all over me once that was obvious and had all but written permission to lie through their teeth provably.

I provided direct evidence of being the actual abuse victim at least four times over my marriage. Unfortunately all this work and advice from experts did little as the judge just bought the other side’s sob story and sketchy evidence. The judge flat out refused to acknowledge my abuse evidence for various excuses, most egregious being I wasn’t taking motion video by chance when assaulted so it doesn’t count, despite clinical reports supporting my claims. Secondly that child to parent abuse is not a legitimate thing, much less rising problem in society sadly.

She allowed anonymous communications from unclear sources, photos without timestamps, and highly suspicious text messages from WhatsApp, a source of frequent forgery in both the tech and family law worlds that impersonated me to be submitted as evidence.

Additionally, she did not allow proper time to fully answer all questions while defending myself, much less accurate context of accusations. She did not really check the evidence either at that point frequently cutting off my answers and disrespectfully claiming I was then interrupting or out of line for wanting my fair time.

The ultimate evidence used to charge me instead of my abuser was screenshots including my supposed phone number from WhatsApp, and comparing the screenshots to a separate contacts catalog in the spot without looking at IP data or any deeper metadata of the photos submitted which are believed to be from another date caused by child to parent abuse, which was common to both myself and ex spouse unfortunately.
Again evidence was provided from Apple itself showing this discrepancy as well as pointing out the dates and relevant details in the messages don’t match, yet was ignored. The unexplained phone calls and weird WhatsApp discrepancy in fact was instead hastily determined to make me and my story total lies. I was charged with a false DV family court charge and pretty much complete loss of my children to someone with a severe undiagnosed personality disorder actively alienating kids from a great albeit not perfect dad like anyone else.

Ultimately this judge believes or maybe even promotes/knowingly allows lies about false allegations of child abuse, domestic violence, and ignores valid long-assessed allegations of narcissistic abuse and child alienation in her carelessness and infinitely poor insight capacity.

And that’s with a stack of properly submitted evidence in front of her saying otherwise. I’d feel even worse if I had limited evidence and would be terrified to face this circus if a court. Definitely is an issue of her being deeply part of the divorce industrial complex, possibly racist against anyone not Hispanic as others have also alluded to from how she treated all the cases throughout the morning. I believe gender biased, and falls for or possibly even knowingly allows literal lies submitted to courts by documented abusers and high powered attorneys, leading to the real victims getting charged and losing custody of kids and potential for financial rectification post abuse. Also suppresses and contributes to silencing true survivors from having honest and open discussions about their experiences in order to protect literal documented criminals in several ways. The judge nurtures child alienation every day for families all over LA County through these failures.

Literally a poor example of what type of human should be a judge, especially in family court where the burden of proof and rates of lying are already rock bottom and sky high respectively…

This judge is completely corrupt, she supports parent alienation and contempt of visitation court orders, she shows bias to attorneys who submit falsified paperwork to the courts, then she lies and blames it on Statue of Limitations, she relies on corrupt precedent of unethical attorneys case law. If you have to go up against her, do yourself a favor, To request a new judge – in a family law child custody case in California, you can file a Peremptory Challenge under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 170.6. I should have done just that…

The not so honorable Veronica Sauceda has zero place on the bench. She feeds into drama, doesn’t prepare or go over the evidence presented, refuses to hear testimony of a professional monitoring, facilitates and promotes parental alienation and all together shows complete legal incompetence. She decides the fate of families in 15 minutes or less, focusing on pettiness and unprovable lies. Whittier should be ashamed to allow such behavior. I’m not sure how she sleeps and night and am surprised that children have not been lost under her watch, or maybe they have. This judge flips a coin and bases decisions that way. She shows extreme bias and needs to be disbarred. She is a clear indication of a failed legal system that is ruining our children. It is painfully obvious that she does not believe in bringing families together, but promotes alienating parents from their children through her gross negligence. Take her off the bench before a child dies!!

I went to court to be supportive of my brother and for my nieces and this judge has an issue with my whole family, we are the only family showing up for my nieces and she wants to take it upon herself to ask if his kids moms family gets visitations with his kids, this don’t even have nothing to do with her, All our black family shows up to support and she acts like it’s a problem. Does she know what court she is in and what law she is supposed to be following? No she don’t, PERIODT like FR. It feels like it’s a race thing because we are the public, we are aloud to be there and she should see us and see we are loving and supportive and she should be respectful. She acts like we are doing something wrong, we didn’t break no laws and my brother gets harassed by cops but she acts like he’s the one at fault, petty crimes is all they get him for. Bogus cases they file on him, judges should be getting at the police for being petty. Watch the news don’t act like cops aren’t petty. Anyways I’m gonna have everyone in my family complain about this Judge because she is rude and disrespectful to all of us.

I remember her from CPT too on a case with my 2nd baby mom. I would like to know how many times she been accused of being prejudice because she act like she don’t know about Afro Latinos, I’m black and wanted my kids to be with black family because their moms side is racist. This judge looked confused by my whole existence. I’m black and I’m Latino and yeah I’m tripping on my kids having to deal with racism, is that a problem? NO IT AINT, hear what I’m saying.
