MIAMI, Okla. — A former Ottawa County Court Clerk’s office employee has been given a deferred one-year sentence for illegally using an official “court seal” on child custody documents.

Christina Gabbard, 33, pleaded guilty to unlawful use of the court clerk’s seal, a misdemeanor.

She was also fined $200, online court records show.

Gabbard was engaged in a child custody dispute with Samuel Baird when she took a temporary order and added the official seal and signed another court clerk employee’s name on the document.

The document was submitted to Stepping Stones Academy in Miami where it reduced the father’s visitation by two hours, court records show.
