Fourth Amendment Rights in Family Court Cases
Do fourth amendment rights regarding unreasonable search & seizure apply in civil Family Court cases where the judge directs a probation officer to search a litigant's home for possessions that are being hotly contested by a husband and wife engaged in a divorce proceeding? Is a search warrant required? Is there case law in this area?

Re: Fourth Amendment Rights in Family Court Cases
one of the more fascinating questions I have heard. On its face, this seems implausible. But to view the issue in its entirety, one would have to obtain the legal, procedural and factual history of this matter.
