Mother could lose custody of children after judge’s warning

A mother described by a judge as ‘devious, self-serving and duplicitous’ risks have her two children taken from her today unless she agrees shared custody with the children’s father.

This follows Judge Patrick Durcan’s warning to the woman at the family law court in Kilrush yesterday.

Judge Durcan told her: “I will give you until tomorrow to deal with the shared custody issue and if the issue is not addressed appropriately, I will consider making an order granting sole custody to the father.”
