Seth Adam Lilly v. Melissa Ann Lilly
Paid petition · Court of Appeals of Indiana, No. 24A-DC-510 · judgment November 26, 2024
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Questions presented
-
Did the refusal of the Indiana state courts to enforce the Petitioner’s rights as unambiguously stated in the Settlement Agreement between the parties infringe Petitioner’s rights to due process under the Fourteenth Amendment, or the Contract Clause?
-
Did the Indiana Court of Appeals’ application of only an abuse of discretion standard of review to the trial judge’s construction of the parties’ contract further erode the protections afforded by these federal constitutional guarantees?
