Whether Vermont's law allowing courts to terminate parental rights based on hearsay violates the Fourteenth Amendment

QUESTIONS PRESENTED The questions presented are: 1. Whether Vermont’s law allowing courts to terminate parental rights based largely on hearsay violates the Fourteenth Amendment and this Court’s holding in Santosky v. Kramer, particularly when the legal standards for termination are already vague and subjective. 455 U.S. 745, 769, 102 S. Ct. 1388, 1403, 71 L. Ed. 2d 599 (1982) (explaining that the clear and convincing “standard adequately conveys to the factfinder the level of subjective certainty about his factual conclusions necessary to satisfy due process.”) 2. Whether the government can prove parental unfitness by clear and convincing evidence, as articulated in Santosky, when much of the admitted evidence is hearsay. Id. i
