Substantial numbers of US parents with psychiatric disabilities are highly vulnerable to loss of child custody or visitation, through child welfare system involvement or divorce proceedings. This study describes the community-based needs of parents with psychiatric disabilities who experienced legal challenges to their parenting rights. This exploratory study involved semi-structured telephone interviews with twelve former clients of a legal services program that provides representation to low-income parents with psychiatric disabilities facing challenges to child custody or visitation. Interviews were audio-recorded, professionally-transcribed, and analyzed using a qualitative, content analysis approach. Three broad themes emerged regarding the types of supports parents reported as useful for their well-being: (1) informal support networks; (2) responsive mental health care for the whole family; and (3) meaningful legal representation. Within these three areas, unmet needs were frequent and problematic. A fourth theme emerged: chronic economic hardships and material deprivation, which point to unmet financial needs. The needs and supports described in this study should be addressed through the development of comprehensive services and supports that meet the psychosocial, legal, and socioeconomic needs of parents with psychiatric disabilities and their children. Future research is also warranted.

This piece discusses how the case Kelly v. United States, which was pending before the Supreme Court when this piece was written, was likely to expand two different developments in the Roberts Court’s jurisprudence: (1) expanding the constitutional protections for lying under the First Amendment and (2) narrowing the definition of corruption. This Piece describes how lower courts ruled in the Kelly case as well as arguments deployed by Kelly’s lawyers at the Supreme Court to try to exonerate their client Bridget Anne Kelly for her role in the Bridgegate scandal.
Epilogue: As this piece was being printed, the Supreme Court decided Kelly v. United States, 590 U. S. ____ , No. 18-1059 (U.S. May. 7, 2020). As predicted by the piece, the Supreme Court in Kelly expanded the Skilling case and narrowed what counts as corruption concluding “not every corrupt act by state or local officials is a federal crime.”
