What is the test for a claim under the domestic relations exception to federal jurisdiction?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Backlund v. Barnhart, 778 F.2d 1386 (9th Cir. 1985):

1 This claim was based on the domestic relations exception to federal court jurisdiction. See McIntyre v. McIntyre, 771 F.2d 1316, 1317-18 (9th Cir.1985).

2 The word "not" appears to have crept in by mistake.
