At least one reviewed court has limited this case’s holding to narrower facts or a narrower rule. No reviewed court has overruled it. Troxel v. Granville has limited treatment: all 192 flagged citations have been read, and the 1 confirmed treatment is listed below.
Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

6,989 later cases cite Troxel v. Granville; 192 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

  • The court declined to extend Troxel's parental-decision right to a parent's decision to waive a child's substantial future tort remedies.

    Hojnowski v. Vans Skate Park · Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division · filed

    Although we acknowledge that fundamental right to exist, as we must (see, e.g. Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57, 65-66, 120 S.Ct. 2054, 2060, 147 L.Ed.2d 49, 56-57 (2000)), we do not read the precedent defining that right (as does our colleague) as encompassing a decision such as this to forego substantial tort remedies, a decision that we find to be different from such fundamental concerns as establishment of a home, upbringing and education, religion, or medical care.
