The Valencian mother and lawyer, María José Carrascosa, who is currently being held in prison in the United States in a child custody case, could be released in April next year.
She has been held for the past two years waiting for the case to be heard, and facing a total of nine charges.
Her lawyer, Scott Finkennauer, now says that case is expected to reach court in February and if all goes well a sentence could be awarded in April.
Carrascosa was imprisoned because in January 2005 she took her daughter to Spain from the United States without the consent of her ex-husband and the child’s father, Peter Innes.
Eight of the nine charges she faces are related to the custody of her child, while the ninth is for ignoring a judicial order to hand over the daughter to her ex husband.
