Chapter 21 - The sentencing
Victoria had no prior record.
Document offense serious because it involved court order and child’s education.
No financial theft.
No physical injury to Noah.
Judge imposed:
Twelve months custody, with nine suspended.
Three months to serve.
Eighteen months probation.
Fine:
$15,000.
No direct involvement in school enrollment for Sophie during probation except through lawful court-authorized processes.
Child-endangerment misdemeanor concurrent.
No contact with Noah absent my consent.
No order barring her from her own daughter.
Family court controls that.

“I was trying to build a family.”
The judge answered:
