Question

In a brief to the United States District Court for the District of Kansas, you write that "a natural parent's right to custody is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment." This proposition is supported implicitly by many opinions in which courts have rejected claims by non-natural parents on the basis that those parents' rights were not guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. However, a citation to one of those opinions will be sufficient to make your point. You have chosen a Supreme Court of Kansas case to illustrate the point. That opinion is In the Matter of the Guardianship of Nolynn Glendon Williams, a minor child. This is a 1994 case "holding that absent extraordinary circumstances, the parental preference doctrine is to be applied".
