Secured reversal of paternity adjudication where Family Court denied the right to a hearing

Matter of Caroline D. v Travis S., 168 AD3d 410 (1st Dept. 2019)

In this paternity proceeding that adjudged my client to the be the father of the child without first considering estoppel before precluding him from obtaining a DNA test, the First Department accepted my argument that my client was not in default of the proceedings and that he had a right to a hearing on the issue that he was equitably estopped from seeking a DNA test.
