What due process is owed a parent when the state terminates, or significantly interferes with, the parent/child relationship by issuing a lifetime no contact protection order, in a family court proceeding?

1. When states have ruled differently, 1 and given this Court ’s reasoning in Santosky v. Kramer, 2 and Mathews v. Eldridge, 3 the issue here is: What due process is owed a parent when the state terminates, or significantly interferes with, the parent/child relationship by issuing a lifetime no contact protection order, in a family court proceeding? Dependent upon which, are the following inquiries: a. What standard of proof is required for a state to materially or terminally interfere with the fundamental parent/child relationship? b. May a court apply an ex post facto law to redefine past conduct under new statutory language to impose a life-time family court no contact order between a parent and child? c. Does the state meet the constitutional standard required to regulate a fundamental right, when the state has not demonstrated a compelling interest and that its interference is narrowly tailored, when the state issues life-long broad no contact orders impacting a wide range of fundamental rights, including to a parental relationship with one’s child? 1 Washington state and Texas differ on the same issue. 2 Santosky v.
