⚖️ Constitutional Legal Standard & Parental Liberty Foundation

Fix Family Courts provides parents, attorneys, and family advocates with rigorous constitutional frameworks to safeguard fundamental parental rights. Under binding Supreme Court precedents including Troxel v. Granville, Santosky v. Kramer, and Pierce v. Society of Sisters, fit parents are constitutionally presumed to act in their children's best interests. State courts lack constitutional authority to abridge custody, parenting time, or parental decision-making without strict scrutiny and clear and convincing evidence.
