Ireland Ex-husband threatened to burn wife and children, court hears
A woman claimed that on July 29, 2023, her husband walked around their house and threatened to burn her and their children in it. The allegations were made at a family law protection hearing at Naas District Court, County Kildare, which was reported on August 18, 2023, and the man was not present. The woman, who said she is separated and in the process of divorcing, was granted an interim protection order until December 11, and the judge said the man is not to contact her except about matters relating to their children. The allegations were the woman's claims and were not tested in court, and the order will lapse if she does not return to court on that date.
