AmadaSophia Komorebi v. Andrew Katkin
1. Whether the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act (PKPA), 28 U.S.C. § 1738A, permits a
State court to deny home-State priority jurisdiction by treating a minor child 's brief, sponsored
visit as "not temporary " based on the visiting parent 's request for child support or temporary
emergency public assistance, and then to exercise "significant connection " jurisdiction when the
minor child 's home State has not declined jurisdiction.
2. Whether the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment permits the ex parte
removal and continued out-of-State retention of a minor child from a parent found fit, and the
entry of a final custody order that provides only non-specific "reasonable visitation " without an
enforceable minimum schedule of parent-child contact, effectively delegating the noncustodial
parent 's access to the child to the discretion of the opposing party.
