Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause is violated when a state court, with knowledge of extrinsic fraud, refuses to remedy the fraud and strips a litigant of her fundamental parental rights

Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause is violated when a state court, with knowledge of extrinsic fraud that results in void orders, refuses to remedy the fraud and instead relies on those void orders to unconstitutionally strip a litigant of her fundamental parental rights, the attorney-client privilege, and the right to a fair trial. 2. Whether a state court engages in unconstitutional retaliation in violation of the First Amendment when, immediately after a litigant files a motion to disqualify the judge for bias, the court strikes the motion and issues a series of punitive rulings, including sanctioning a domestic violence victim for seeking a protective order. 3. Whether a state's justice system effectuates a complete breakdown of due process when it permits one party to illegally seize all marital assets and then denies the indigent, self represented party access to those same funds to secure legal counsel, creating an unconstitutional structural imbalance that weaponizes the legal system as a tool of abuse.
