   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 teachings—restrictions the mother argues   
   violate her constitutional rights and exceed the authority of family   
   courts.   
      
   The state’s high court must now determine whether judges can curtail a   
   fit parent’s 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.
