Ex-boyfriend 'could get a year in prison', woman told at Kildare court

A woman’s former husband could get a year in prison if he is in breach of a family court order granted at Naas District Court.

This is what presiding judge Desmond Zaidan told her at a family law hearing.

The woman said they have two children.

“I’m not in the house because he is trying to get us out of the home,” the woman told the court.

Judge Zaidan told the woman that an interim order, which was already granted,  is due for a further hearing in the future and it remains in place.

He told her to go to the gardaí and get them to enforce this order.

He added: “If the gardaí are not enforcing these orders I’m wasting my time.”

He told her to go to a garda station “if you believe there is a breach” adding he could impose a year in prison on the man, who was not present or represented.
