Question Presented (from Petition)

I. Whether the Missouri Western District Court of Appeals committed err by not finding Petitioner's 14th Amendment due process rights were violated by the trial court judge's refusal to recuse herself as required by Missouri Supreme Court Rule 2-2.11 after Petitioner moved to recuse the trial court judge and stated facts that reasonably called the trial court judge's impartiality into question.

Whether the Missouri Western District Court of Appeals committed err by not finding that, as applied to Petitioner, sections 452.375.2 and 452.400.2 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri violated Petitioner's 14th Amendment rights by granting the trial court broad discretion to infringe upon Petitioner's fundamental liberty interest in raising his children and denying Petitioner equal protection of the law on the basis of Petitioner's disability.
