Going to Jail Question

[LizaLou1]

Case is in AL - BM has custody and lives in FL.

BM has suffered 4 contempt of court rulings against her for blocking visitation within 3 years or so.  The last one was in Dec 03 where she was sentenced to 15 days in jail (AL county jail).  In Jan 04, she simultaneously asked for reconsideration and for the Judge to recuse himself because he was biased against the BM and because he is in cahoots with DH's attorney for the purposes of attorney fees.  (To date she has paid over $5K of our attorney fees.)  The judge refused on both counts and she was to start her jail time when the kids arrived for summer visitation.  In May she asked to push the start date out to Aug because of her military reserve (COL) duties during the summer.  He agreed but said no more delays.

Now.... She is asking to serve her time in FL under a work release program, alleging financial difficulties if she is not allowed to work (Federal employee).  IF she has financial difficulties, it is not from an income perspective ($90K per year), it is because of poor judgment in financial decisions.  

1. In your experience, have you ever seen a judge allow something like this?

2.  As a disinterested 3rd party, is this a reasonable request?

Thanks

No. This is an AL case and the AL court cannot oversee a person incarcerated in FL
