Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause is violated when a state court, with knowledge of extrinsic fraud that results in void orders, refuses to remedy the fraud and instead relies on those void orders to unconstitutionally strip a litigant of her fundamental parental rights, the attorney-client privilege, and the right to a fair trial.

2. 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 series of punitive rulings, including sanctioning a domestic violence victim for seeking a protective order.

3. 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.
