Prison sentence for breach of family law court order

Munster2017

Just a few lines to ask if anyone has experience in family criminal law. My sister received a 2 week prison sentence as the courts deemed she was in breach of a court order. She appealed and was unsuccessful. Committal date is due to commence in the next two weeks as the judge had a stay on the sentence which is nearing expiry.

I will support as best as I can as she has two children who will need to be cared for.

My question is will she be eligible for early/temporary release? And or remittance? I had read a number of submissions online which would indicate she could be eligible for the same.

I worry for her as she her separation was extremely acrimonious with a proven history of domestic violence and the children were subject to violent behavior from their father. After much Tulsa intervention it was deemed access was appropriate to commence. Unfortunately, the children found the psychological fall out difficult to reconcile and hence access attempts were unsuccessful.

My sister was then found in breach of the same which was not fair in any format. Mediation was also attempted and also unsuccessful.

I really worry if she will have to serve the two weeks +\- remittance unsure how this would work.

Any advice would be appreciated as my mother is at her witts end worrying and my father deceased.

It would also now appear this conviction will need to be revealed to her employer rendering her unemployed. Legal advice indicated she should not be kept too long which is not informative. They seemed somewhat unsure as apparently the younger qualified have not had experience with these cases (this is what solicitor told my sister).

Thank you and regards in advance of any advise.

Suggest you sister get advice from a solicitor experienced in family law matters
As this seems to be a contentious family law matter I think it is best to close this
