Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether a state court's failure to exercise jurisdiction under the UCCJEA, despite previously issuing a protective order, violates the Full Faith and Credit provisions under 28 U.S.C. § 1738 and FRCP Rule 44, where the state had been established as the children's home state through a permanent relocation order, and multiple state executive branches facilitated the removal of the children? Further, whether the actions stemming from alleged perjured testimony in both state jurisdictions violate interstate protective order enforcement under 18 U.S.C. § 2265 and interstate domestic violence laws under 18 U.S.C. § 2262, necessitating federal intervention to address the deprivation of custody and parental contact, and the unlawful circumvention of established child custody jurisdiction?

Question Presented (AI Summary)
