Questions presented
-
) Does a State violate a Father's Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Rights by constructively and effectively terminating his (and Daughter's) Parental I Familial rights via a “No Contact Order” being kept in full force for OVER four years while NEVER having ANY Termination Proceedings and with NO “clear and convincing evidence” at a minimum to do so ?
-
) Does a “No Contact Order” that completely severs Father and Daughter, being fully enforced for OVER four years and denying ALL requested modifications for reunification, violate Father's (and Daughter's) Fourteenth Amendment Due Process protections and Seventh Amendment right to jury trial when Father was NEVER found to be an “unfit parent” but held a surprise “Adjudication Hearing” WITHOUT Father being present OR given Notice ?
-
) Does a “No Contact Order” that completely severs Father and Daughter, being fully enforced for OVER four years and denying ALL requested modifications, violate Father's (and Daughter's) Fourteenth Amendment Familial protections and guarantees when “the best interests” of Daughter have NEVER been properly assessed by the State Courts, on ANY record or Order beyond a mere mention ?
-
) Does a State Court violate a Father's Fourteenth Amendment Parental protections and guarantees of Due Process and his First Amendment protections of Retaliation when it DENIES Father I Petitioner ANY form of contact between him and his daughter, after OVER four years, solely due to Father / Petitioner “having a pending appeal” AS A MATTER OF RIGHT in an UNRELATED criminal case ?
-
) Does a State Court violate a Petitioner's / Father's (and Daughter's) Eighth Amendment protections against Cruel and Unusual punishment when it enforces a PROVEN HARMFUL over four-year old No Contact Order with no end date solely due to Petitioner / Father being incarcerated ?
-
) Does a State Court violate a Petitioner's First Amendment right to redress grievances and Fourteenth Amendment Due Process rights to “NOTICE” and “OPPORTUNITY” when it DENIES relief for a PROVEN NEVER TIMELY SENT Notice of Entry I ORDER Entered, thus denying Petitioner the opportunity to timely file for Review with the higher Courts ? z 7. ) Does a State Court violate a Father's / Petitioner's Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection rights when it NEVER implemented or held ANY sort of hearing or proceeding for a No Contact Order on his “similarly situated” CoDefendant (and her daughter) who was arrested WITH Petitioner and had the SAME EXACT criminal charge's pending for Two years ?
-
) Does a State Court violate a Father's Fourteenth Amendment Due Process protections when it cites to and relies on allegations of Dependency, Neglect, and Abuse of Father's child which were PROVEN to be “UNSUBSTANTIATED” but keeping fully enforced a No Contact Order between them ?
-
) Does a State Court violate a Father's (and Daughter's) “fundamentally fair” and lawful procedures required by Due Process of the Fourteenth Amendment when the State Court waits SEVERAL YEARS to hold an “Adjudication Hearing” while Daughter drifts from Foster Home to Foster Home (strangers) awaiting a permanent residence with actual family who were available from Day One ?
-
) Does a State Court violate a Father's (and Daughter's) Due Process rights of the Fourteenth Amendment when the Court takes Daughter into supposed “temporary custody” for several years and places her with “strangers” called Foster Homes while DENYING “Active kin” or “immediate” family members trying to get custody of Daughter, while “appointed counsel” is Constitutionally ineffective ?
-
) Does a State Court violate a Father's (and Daughter's) Due Process rights and protections of the Fourteenth Amendment when Father PROVES the custody with “strangers” called Foster Homes is NOT in best interest of the child and in fact is harmful, yet the State Courts ignore the proof ? 12.) Does a State Court abuse its discretion and violate The Supremacy Clause, Federal mandates and unambiguous precedent, when it COMPLETELY IGNORES clearly-cited guiding Federal precedent ? 13.) Does a State violate a Father's substantial Due Process rights of the Fourteenth Amendment when it DENIES completely Father's significant decisions about Daughter's continuing in her Christian faith and Church, and DENIES completely Father's decisions regarding his Daughter's Medical and Mental Health actions allowed and forced upon her by State interventions ?
-
) Is Father's Equal Protection of Law (14th Amend) violated when State's Statutes are disregarded ?
