Olayiwola Adebisi v. Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas

Whether the Texas courts violated clearly established federal precedent protecting jurisdictional access and due process rights of pro se litigants when they dismissed Petitioner’s claims without a hearing, and over objections concerning lack of service, lack of jurisdiction, and statutory non-compliance, in a child support enforcement proceeding. This petition presents three closely related questions:

1. Whether a state court may enter a child-support order under UIFS A against a nonresident parent without valid service or personal jurisdiction, contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment.

2. Whether the Texas courts erred in refusing to vacate a default UIFSA judgment entered without notice, despite Petitioner’s sworn jurisdictional objections and affidavits of non-residency.

3. Whether the denial of Petitioner’s Motion to Vacate, without findings of fact or conclusions of law, violates the due process protections guaranteed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.
