• holding that “[a] federal claim[is] ‘inextricably intertwined’ with the state court judgment [if] the federal claim[ ] succeed[s] only to the extent that the state court wrongly decided the issues before it”
• concluding that the issue of propriety of a search of a home prior to a custody hearing was not and could not have been raised during that hearing, and, therefore, Rooker-Feldman did not apply to that claim
• holding that the Rooker-Feldman doctrine is broad enough to bar all federal claims that were, or should have been, central to the state court decision, even if those claims seek a form of relief that might not have been available from the state court
• explaining that “an easy case for the application of the Rooker-Feldman doctrine” is one where “the primary relief sought … was an injunction preventing enforcement of the state court judgment and returning custody to the aggrieved parent.”
• describing a federal action seeking “an injunction preventing enforcement of [a] state court judgment and returning custody to the aggrieved parent” as an “easy case for application of the Rooker-Feldman doctrine”
