Idaho Supreme Court
Decision:
- Court immediately boots the defective petition argument.
-
Rejects Father's equal protection argument because it ignores controlling precedent from
the Supreme Court of the United States. NOTE: The Court provides an excellent 101 on substantive
due process versus procedural due process. The Court then explains why Father's substantive
equal protection argument must necessarily rely on substantive due process, and why that fails.
"However, as a matter of substantive due process and controlling precedent of the Supreme Court
of the United States, unwed fathers do not have parental rights equal to those of unwed mothers
by virtue of biology alone. Instead, a father must do something more to accrue full parental rights.
He must establish a relationship with his child."View entire presentation
