Does the imposition of unending supervised visitation at the state level, upon a non-custodial parent who has joint legal custody, who has not been found to be unfit or to have engaged in physical or sexual abuse of the minor child, does not have any drug, alcohol or substance abuse issues, or any untreated mental health issues, nor does the non-custodial parent have any criminal record, violate the provisions of the Violence Against Women's Act and the non-custodial parents Constitutional Rights under the 4th and 14th amendments?

I. Does a non-custodial parent have the same inalienable rights as a custodial parent, more specifically, does a non-custodial parent enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in the same manner as the custodial parent and as guaranteed by the constitution and without undo influence or interruption by the STATE (local law enforcement, guardian ad litem and Superior County Court Judge)?

II. Do the Interference of custody laws (O.C.GA. 16-5-45 Interference of Custody) at the state level apply to both parties (custodial and non-custodial parent) of a custody agreement or only to a non-custodial parent in cases where the Violation Against Women's Act has been invoked and the custody agreement is Joint Legal Custody?
