Questions presented
Questions Pertaining to the Due Process Clause:
-
Does a defence of UCCJEA ‘Simultaneous Proceedings’ become moot when one and not all pro ceedings is dismissed, and where the original juris diction dismissal cites the cause as the second and simultaneous proceedings in the Rhode Island Family Court, and thereafter an obligation to desist under the HCCH 1996 treaty terms (App.35a). And where the Rhode Island case is yet afoot, and where the HCCH 1996 Article 7 would allow for the matter of child custody to be returned by Rhode Island to Australia and where the Rhode Island Family Court had 62 days from the docketed notice of the case and orders in Australia to then adjudge ‘Simultaneous Proceedings’? (i.e. well prior to the ultimate original case’s dismissal in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia)
-
Should the Rhode Island Family Court have scheduled without delay a Show Cause hearing after February 13, 2020 to adjudge ‘Simultaneous Proceed ings’, when presented with proper Australian Court orders made March 22, 2018 (App.205a), within the case afoot in the original jurisdiction?
-
Should the Rhode Island Family Court have promptly scheduled an evidentiary hearing after Feb ruary 13, 2020, to adjudge ‘Jurisdiction Declined by Reason of Conduct’?
