Here is a little case law:
A child has an equal right to be raised by the father, and must be awarded to the father if he is the better parent, or mother is not interested. STANLEY V. ILLINOIS, 405 US 645 (1972)
If custodial mother has boyfriend living with her, state can change custody to father. JARRETT V. JARRETT, 101 S.Ct. 329 Visitation (parenting time) is a constitutionally protected right which can be protected in federal court, even if father is in prison. MABRA V. SCHMIDT, 356 F.Supp. 620
Ex Parte conferences, hearings or Orders denying parental rights or personal liberties are unconstitutional, cannot be enforced, can be set aside in federal court, and can be the basis of suits for money damages. RANKIN V. HOWARD, 633 F.2d 844 (1980); GEISINGER V. VOSE, 352 F.Supp. 104 (1972)
Judges' refusal to consider evidence and psychologist reports denies due process right to "meaningful hearing." ARMSTRONG V. MANGO, 380 US 545, 552; 85 S.Ct.1187 (1965)
Laws and Court procedures that are "fair on their faces" but administered "with an evil eye and a heavy hand" (discriminatorily) are unconstitutional. YICK WO V. HOPKINS, 118 S.Ct. 356 (1886)
Federal Courts can rule on federal claims (constitutional questions) involved in state divorce cases and award money damages for federal torts or in diversity of citizenship cases involving intentional infliction of emotional distress by denial of parental rights, "visitation", as long as the Federal Court is not asked to modify custodial status. LLOYD V. LOEFFLER, 518 F.Supp 720 (custodial father won $95,000 against parental kid-napping wife)
