Court of Appeals of New York

In an action seeking joint legal and physical custody of a child conceived by artificial insemination in the course of a civil union between two women, the appellate division's reversal of the trial court's determination to hold an equitable-estoppel hearing is reversed where the doctrine of comity required the court to recognize petitioner's status as the child's parent under Vermont law.
