Whether the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to termination of parental rights cases and protects parents with mental disabilities from losing custody of their children

QUESTION PRESENTED: The question presented is whether the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to termination of parental rights cases in state courts. And, if so, whether a parent with a mental disability should be allowed to retain her fundamental right to parent, when the parent herself is under a guardianship due to her medical condition, and has shown the ability to care for a child with said guardianship in place.
