Zummo v. Zummo
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania (1990) | 574 A.2d 1130; 394 Pa. Super. 30; 1990 Pa. Super. LEXIS 954
TL;DR: A court vacated an order preventing a divorced Catholic father from taking his children to Catholic services. The children were being raised Jewish by agreement, but the court held the restriction violated the father's constitutional rights absent a showing of substantial harm to the children.
Legal Significance: Establishes that a court cannot restrict a non-custodial parent's right to expose children to their religion during visitation unless there is a demonstrated substantial threat of physical or emotional harm. Prenuptial agreements on religious upbringing are generally unenforceable in civil courts.
