(KSL News) -- A woman who fled the polygamous lifestyle had a joyous reunion today with her children.
Laurice Jessop met her children in Colorado City, Arizona. Earlier this month her ex-husband, Nathan Burnham, went to West Jordan where the children lived with their mother. Even though she had custody, the ex-husband loaded the children up and took them away to Colorado City.
Laurice hadn't seen them since October 6th.
