Time served for violating custody order
Judge also requires Florenceville-Bristol woman to get counselling as part of probation
When a Florenceville-Bristol woman decided to take her two kids on a vacation earlier this year, he violated a family-court order on who has custody of the children and when, a court heard Tuesday.
A 43-year-old woman appeared in Fredericton provincial court Tuesday for sentencing on two counts of violating a court order.
She originally faced charges of parental abduction, alleged to have occurred Jan. 4 in Beardsley, just south of Woodstock. However, she pleaded guilty in April to the lesser offences of violating a family court order.
There’s a court-ordered publication ban in place protecting the identities of the two children in the case, and given the woman’s familial connection to them, the Fredericton Independent isn’t naming her either so as to comply with the ban.
