A bride who pled guilty to attacking her own mum with a stiletto on her wedding day has been cut out of her inheritance.
Claire Goodbrand, 26, and her husband, Eamonn Goodbrand, both spent their wedding night in jail after their reception turned sour and violence broke out, as the Mirror previously reported.
The bride has now pleaded guilty to assault after the fight in June 2019, where she grabbed her own mum, Cherry-Ann Lindsay, 47, by the hair before hitting her with a stiletto. She also put her hands around her mum's throat.
Now it has emerged that Ms Lindsay has cut Claire out of her will, so she can't get her hands on her properties, caravan, or life insurance, should anything happen to her.

Speaking to The Sun, Ms Lindsay said: "When we did the speeches the boys were slurring their words. When Eamonn finished he said to me, ‘Thanks, Mum, for the money’. That’s all they care about.
"I started getting panicky. My daughter’s an only child. I had two properties, a caravan and life insurance. Everything goes to her.
"I felt worried they were thinking they’d get everything if anything happened to me. After the wedding, I changed all the paperwork and disinherited her so she’ll get nothing."
The disastrous end to their wedding three years ago happened after hours of heavy drinking, leading to a fight breaking out,
Claire, a mother to four children, spent the night in the cells alongside her husband and his brother, Kieran, who was best man.
Ms Lindsay told the Mail: "She then grabbed me and put me in a choke hold. I couldn’t breathe. I thought I was going to die."
Claire attacked her mum and her mum's partner 40-year-old David Boyd, at which time Eamonn, a former professional boxer, and his brother Kieran joined in.
David was punched, kicked, bitten and grabbed at the neck by the two brothers. They also pushed their thumbs into his eyes.
Kieran Goodbrand also punched and kicked Garry Brown, another guest at the wedding.

Police were called to wedding venue The Vu at Ballencrieff Toll, Bathgate, in West Lothian after the fight, which spilled onto the lawn, was reportedly caught on CCTV. The bride, groom and best man were all arrested and held in custody that night.
The couple plus their best man, who are all from Uddingston in Lanarkshire, pleaded guilty to assault and injury charges at Livingston Sheriff Court this week.
Claire Goodbrand pleaded guilty on indictment to assault to injury but not guilty to a more serious assault to severe injury.
She admitted repeatedly seizing her mother by the hair, punching and kicking her on the head and body, causing her to fall to the ground, before striking her head at The Vu wedding venue at Ballencrieff Toll in West Lothian’s Bathgate Hills.
She also admitted punching and kicking her mum Cherry-Ann to the head and body whilst she was on the ground, striking her on the head with a shoe and seizing her by the neck and restricting her breathing.
Eamonn and Kieran both pled guilty to repeatedly punching and kicking David Boyd on the head and body while acting together.
The charge states that they caused him to fall to the ground and continued their violent attack as he lay there.
They admitted pushing their thumbs into Mr Boyd’s eyes, biting him on the head and body and repeatedly seizing him by the neck and restricting his breathing, all to his severe injury.
In addition, Kieran Goodbrand admitted assaulting Garry Brown by punching and kicking him on the head and body to his injury at the reception on 24 June 2019.
A fourth member of the family, 37-year-old Brendan Goodbrand, had his not guilty pleas to two assault charges accepted by the Crown after his alibi that he had left the venue before trouble broke out turned out to be true.
Sheriff Martin Edington called for criminal justice social work reports on all three accused before passing the sentence.
He adjourned the case until 29 April for information on possible disposals, including social work supervision, unpaid hours of work and restriction of liberty by electronic curfew.
Eamonn Goodbrand’s Facebook page reveals that he works as a professional fighter, boxing competitively as a light-middleweight.
The prosecution will narrate the full circumstances when the case calls for a sentence.
