Tirza Diaz de Villegas v. Ulysses Diaz de Villegas

Whether the effective deprivation of meaningful parent-child contact without meaningful appellate review violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Whether a state appellate court’s per curiam affirmance without written opinion may effectively shield constitutional parental-rights claims from meaningful review.

Whether newly discovered post-trial evidence materially contradicting factual representations relied upon in restricting parental contact warrants constitutional review where state courts declined to consider such evidence.
