Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether the trial court could infringe on, and take away, a parent’s constitutional right to reasonable discipline of their child absent strict scrutiny and without giving instruction as to what form of discipline was substitutable. ; 2. Whether the defense counsel’s statement to the trial court that he was not knowledgeable of the case’s history as he had only been on the case for a month; and his failure to provide competent and professional representation constitutes as ineffective assistance of counsel. 3. Whether the impact of the issue of voidness may be considered in isolation, or must be evaluated cumulatively, as is the case with respect to the petitioner’s history of continuous and specific evidentiary complaints that the trial judge violated his constitutional due process rights; and based his order of injunction off of fraud and perjury. ii ! .
