Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether the First and Fourteenth Amendments permit a family court to impose an indefinite, content-based prior restraint on a parent's speech, based solely on a "best interests of the child" rationale, without evidence of harm, without applying strict scrutiny, and also separately in a form that restricts speech even after the child reaches majority?
