                          CHAPTER 2. VALIDITY OF JUDGMENTS

                       TOPIC  1. REQUISITES OF A VALID JUDGMENT

§ 5. Jurisdiction of the State

Alaska, 2020. Cit. in case cit. in ftn. to diss. op. After unmarried Native American father obtained sole
legal and physical custody of child pursuant to a trial-court order, mother filed a motion before the tribal
court to modify the custody order. The tribal court granted mother's motion to modify and claimed
jurisdiction over the case and the parties. The trial court denied mother's motion, finding that the
judgment of the tribal court was not enforceable. This court vacated and remanded, holding that the trial
court erred in refusing to extend full faith and credit to the ruling of the tribal court pursuant to the
Indian Child Welfare Act, and that there was an unresolved question of law regarding whether the trial
court had subject-matter jurisdiction over the case. The dissent argued that the trial court's ruling was
void under Restatement of Judgments § 5, because the trial court was deprived of subject-matter
jurisdiction as soon as the tribal court had exercised exclusive child-custody jurisdiction over the Native
American  child. Peidlow v. Williams, 459 P.3d 1136, 1147.



          CHAPTER 4. EFFECT OF JUDGMENTS WITH REFERENCE TO PERSON

                               TOPIC   1. PARTIES  AND   PRIVIES

§ 83. Privies-General  Rule

N.D.Ill.Bkrtcy.Ct.2020. Com. (a) quot. in sup. Chapter 11 debtor corporation brought an adversary
proceeding against ex-wife of its sole shareholder, seeking to avoid as fraudulent its pre-petition transfer
to ex-wife of certain real property, which shareholder had purchased and assigned to debtor. This court
granted ex-wife's motion to dismiss, holding that the transfer was made pursuant to a judgment in the
marriage-dissolution proceedings between shareholder and ex-wife, in which the state court determined
that the property was part of the marital estate, and that debtor's complaint in this action was a collateral
attack on the state-court judgment that was barred under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. The court noted
that, while debtor was not a party to the state-court proceedings, it was in privity with shareholder for
purposes of those proceedings under Restatement of Judgments § 83, and thus the judgment was binding
on it. In re 3991 Transport Company Inc., 610 B.R. 881, 885.
