Jesse and Janine married in 2002 and split in October 2003. Lindemulder later served time in a federal prison on income tax charges, and was sent to a half-way house after her release. She has wanted visitation with her daughter since leaving the half-way facility last month.
“The parties had difficult issues but they have always tried to work them out,” Commissioner Schulte said about Thursday’s court action. “I don’t want to hold their feet to the fire. I hope they put the child first.”
