Question presented

This is a parental rights case where international private law and constitutional law intersect with ramifications of exceptional relevance for US legal policy worldwide and the functioning of the domestic legal system. Specifically, this case addresses a pro se father's rights and the need to protect US jurisdiction and laws as well as to enforce final US judgments internationally —in tandem with foreign exequatur proceedings under Continental Law—, all in light of his rights to due process and to be timely heard in the context of his unequal treatment under the law. Did the lower court infringe the Petitioner's parental rights and due process by ignoring the Court's unanimous precedent, in re, Chafin v. Chafin, as a result of the Respondent attacking the final US divorce judgment and orders via a subsequent fraudulent and concealed contentious divorce action in Spain, among other relief related to minor children? Did the lower court infringe the Petitioner's parental and property rights by perpetuating a status quo of contempt to court and fraud by the Respondent, thus granting the latter a de facto sole custody award while terminating this party's parental rights, all through due process violations and an unequal treatment under the law (never proper proceedings per local normative)?
