Some practical advice for support contemnors in the State of Washington
A Way to Walk a Mile in a Noncustodial Parent's Moccasins.
This is the Web Page upon which I list the internal links to the briefs and pleadings in the 42 U.S.C. §1983 lawsuit I filed in response to argue that Troxel v. Granville, (2000) 530 U.S. 57, 147 L. Ed. 2d. 49, 120 S. Ct. 2054 established a limit to the state's interest in the collection of child support and therefore excessive child support orders violate parent's fundamental rights under the Fourteenth Amendment. This lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, No. C00-1874R. I appealed the decision against me to the Ninth Circuit, No. 01-35459.
The Ninth Circuit issued a fast unpublished memorandum (Adobe Acrobat pdf file) finding that the suit was barred by Rooker-Feldman doctrine.
A Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the United States Supreme Court was filed, No. 01-482. It was denied.
