Risking contempt-of-court charges that could land him in jail, a Nebraska father is refusing to let his 6-year-old son spend the night in prison with the boy's mother, a convicted killer. Kimberly Faust is seeking a contempt citation against her ex-husband, Bruce Faust, accusing him of violating the visitation terms agreed upon in their divorce. She is serving two life terms for killing two people, including her estranged husband's girlfriend. At the Nebraska Correctional Center for Women in York, children up to 8 are allowed to spend nights with a parent in prison. Officials at the prison said they are not aware of a court ever ordering a child to spend the night against one parent's wishes. Bruce Faust has custody of their two sons, ages 6 and 11. As part of their July divorce settlement, he is supposed to let the boys visit their mother every other week from Friday afternoon to Saturday evening. Both boys have made several day visits but have not stayed overnight. In court Monday, District Judge Randall RehÂmeier warned Bruce Faust that he could go to jail if he is found in contempt for violating the divorce decree. |
