Shari Lynn Oliver v. Matthew Warren Oliver

IFP petition · Court of Appeals of Michigan, No. 367128 · judgment September 19, 2024


Certiorari denied · January 20, 2026

Question presented

I. Whether a state court violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by refusing to vacate a facially void judgment that was procured through perjury, fraudulent concealment, fabricated evidence, and denial of the opportunity to be heard. II. Whether the doctrine of res judicata can constitutionally bar a collateral attack on a void judgment, contrary to longstanding federal and state precedent that void judgments are legal nullities not subject to preclusion. III. Whether systemic financial entanglement between state judiciaries and executive agencies under federal Title IV-D funding creates an unconstitutional structural bias that deprives litigants of due process and a neutral tribunal in child custody and support proceedings. PARTIES TO THE PROCEEDINGS All parties are listed in the caption of the case. RULE 29.6 STATEMENT Because no petitioner is a corporation, a corporate disclosure statement is not required under Supreme Court Rule 29.6.
