The Maine Supreme Judicial Court is weighing whether a lower court
overstepped constitutional limits when it barred a mother from taking
her 12-year-old daughter to church services and restricted her from
exposing the child to Bible teachings.
The case, Bickford v. Bradeen, has drawn attention for its unusual
scope and the broader questions it raises about parental rights,
judicial neutrality toward religion and the evidentiary standards used
in family-law disputes.
Why It Matters
At the center of the case is an unusually sweeping custody order that
barred a Maine mother from taking her 12-year-old daughter to church
or exposing her to Bible teachingsrestrictions the mother argues
violate her constitutional rights and exceed the authority of family
courts.
The states high court must now determine whether judges can curtail a
fit parents religious practices based on findings of potential
psychological harm, a question that could reshape how courts
nationwide weigh parental rights, religious freedom and expert
testimony in custody disputes.
