When a divorce involves a judge, things are extra nasty already.

The custody agreement has a clause the mother doesnt agree with, that violates her rights as a mother, to make bad decisions. Again, cost of lawyers, would indicate the father had a good one. The mother probably had legal aid. She probably wanted out of the relationship, at any cost, so she agreed to things she would not have agreed to otherwise.

The father is spying on the mother, and keeps hauling her into court. Most lawyers would advise the father to just let it go. That means there is money involved, because lawyers are expensive.

Finally, only an asshole of extreme degree would push this thing until there was jail time involved. That tells me this is about a vindictive control freak, and I have deep empathy for the mother. Too bad she didn't put a bullet in his head, when he was beating her (The control freaks ALWAYS beat their wives).
