Kevin Adebayo Ajenifuja v. Anita Ursel Koepcke
IFP petition · District of Columbia Court of Appeals, No. 25-FM-0049 · judgment May 4, 2026
Questions presented
-
Whether a trial court’s unconsented, private (in camera) interview of a minor child in a custody case violates a parent's Fourteenth Amendment Due Process rights.
-
Whether limiting a fit parent to four one-hour, virtually supervised visits per year constitutes a mere restriction or a deprivation of the parent-child relationship, amounting to a de facto termination of parental rights without due process of law.
-
Does disregarding a noncustodial parent's allegation of child neglect, while accepting the custodial parent's claim that the minor children do not desire frequent visits with their father, inescapably contradict the Equal Protection Clause as interpreted in F.S. Royster Guano Co. v. Virginia?
