DEBRA H., Respondent, v. JANICE R., Appellant.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department.

Decided April 9, 2009.


Petitioner seeks joint legal and physical custody of respondent's biological child, born approximately one month after the parties entered into a civil union in the State of Vermont, and more than two months after they registered as domestic partners in New York City. Although the record indicates that petitioner served as a loving and caring parental figure during the first 2½ years of the child's life, she never legally adopted the child.
