Cristina M. Lancranjan v. Superior Court of California, San Diego County, et al.
DueProcess
Whether the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is violated when a state court strips a fit, primary parent of her fundamental right to direct the child's education without a full evidentiary hearing or finding of detriment
1. Whether the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is violated when a state court, without a full evidentiary hearing on the child's best interest or a finding of detriment, strips a fit, primary parent of her fundamental right to direct the education and upbringing of her child by unilaterally changing the child's six-year educational status quo without detriment or full evidentiary hearing and on a judicial "blanket policy." 2. Whether a state court's refusal to modify a custody order that is causing demonstrable and ongoing physical and psychological harm to a child —a harm created by the bad-faith conduct of RPI —constitutes an abdication of the court's constitutional duty to protect the child's welfare. 3. 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 punitive ruling denying the litigant's request to relocate with her child. 4. 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. 1
