Danielle Sposito v. Linda Rollins-Threats

Whether a parent facilitator was entitled to judicial immunity when the actions she took in a child custody case were done maliciously involving her false irrelevant testimony, acted in excess of her authority and her dangerous actions ultimately placed the children back into the abusive situation proved by information filed by the children’s mother in a recent divorce decree. Whether a parent facilitator is entitled to attorney fees claiming judicial immunity The case of Pulliam v. Allen established that judicial immunity doesn't bar attorney fees under 42 U.S;C. § 1988 in cases where prospective injunctive relief is granted against a judicial officer. However, Congress later amended the statute to preclude such awards unless the judicial officer acted clearly in excess of their jurisdiction. This suggests that there is not an automatic right to attorney fees simply because one claims immunity from suit.
