What it's about

This case involves a petition for a writ of certiorari and a motion to proceed in forma pauperis filed with the Supreme Court, originating from the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland.

Question presented

Does the Constitution of the United States permit the State of Maryland to create legal precedents to deprive the petitioner and similarly-situated fathers of their Constitutional right to participate in the raising of their children, and punish fathers by denying them their freedom, civil rights, rights such as that to drive a motor vehicle, receive public benefits, and be free of unlawful incarceration?
