Magistrate David Day jailed a 22-year-old woman for a series of offences - including punching her mother in the mouth - committed in 2019.
The offender, who cannot be named to protect the victim, had stayed at her mother's house at various times this year.
According to police, a provisional apprehended violence order was taken out against the 22-year-old on January 1, 2019, after she smashed a glass dining table belonging to her mother and repeatedly punched her mother without causing serious injuries.
She was given a 12-month supervised Community Correction Order for the assault and a six-month CCO for the property damage.
She absolutely assures me that she wants rehabilitation and has not used ice in custody.

She was also given two eight-month CCOs for property damage and contravening an AVO after she threw a clock at a wall and smashed a glass coffee table on January 3 after an argument about $20 that was missing from her mother's wallet.
However, Mr Day said the most serious offences were on January 27 when the daughter punched her mother in the mouth and caused bruising and red marks on the left side of her face, arm and leg during a scuffle after her mother refused to give her a cigarette. She also broke a vase.
For the January 27 assault and contravening the AVO Mr Day gave the woman two eight-month jail sentences back-dated to April 8, and she could be released on parole after four-months on August 7.
He also gave her an eight-month CCO for breaking the vase and he gave her more CCOs for further contraventions of the AVO, bail conditions and property damage.
On February 7 she punched and kicked holes into the walls of her mother's house after her mother refused to give her money, then threatened to call the police.
The 22-year-old left the scene but police arrested her for the offences on February 9 after a car she was a passenger in crashed at the intersection of Leura and Goorawin roads.
On April 8, she damaged a mirror, door and walls after again being denied a cigarette. Along with a CCO she was given a nine-month Intensive Correction Order requiring rehabilitation and that she abstain from drugs for contravening an AVO.
"She has an ice addiction, each one of those offences was her coming off ice," Solicitor Su Healy said.
"She absolutely assures me that she wants rehabilitation and has not used ice in custody."
According to Ms Healey, the woman spent a 35 days in custody, and had been held on remand since April 8.
