Questions presented
-
What constitutes “Due Process of Law”? Can binding orders be implemented, terminating visitation without any consideration of evidence or a hearing? a. Is a judge is allowed to exclusively accept hearsay testimony from a non-legally trained parenting coordinator as fact; refuse to accept/consider evidence proving the hearsay testimony is false (from the parents and/or law enforcement personnel). Then, amid parental objections, implement the “findings and recommendations” of a licensed clinical social worker “parenting coordinator” into official orders; including the termination of parental rights, without following due process of judicial law (considering evidence, holding a hearing to hear the parties objections or opinions).
-
If the appointment of a non-legally trained, clinical social worker “parenting coordinator” is: a. an unlawful delegation of judicial authority, and b. disregard of complying with the Rules of Evidence; or the appointment of a parenting coordinator is allowable under the United States Constitution and current Federal Statutes, useful in implementing legally binding orders (without judicial involvement or due process of law) of parental responsibilities, parental custody and visitation, medical care, and other significant issues related to minors.
