It is hereby ordered that the order so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously reversed on the law without costs and the petition is dismissed.
Memorandum: Family Court erred in finding respondent to be in willful violation of a custody/visitation order dated December 10, 2004 and in sentencing her to an intermittent term of incarceration of two weekends. The violation petition alleges that respondent violated a different order, dated February 24, 2006, and, in any event, the evidence does not establish that respondent willfully violated a clear mandate of either order (see Matter of Johnson v Ahern, 29 AD3d 1101 [2006]; Matter of Hoglund v Hoglund, 234 AD2d 794, 795-796 [1996]). Present—Gorski, J.P., Martoche, Centra, Lunn and Green, JJ.
