Petitioner brought a petition seeking a determination of parenthood based on a “plan to adopt and raise a child together” with respondent. However, after the parties separated, the court found that their plan to adopt and raise a child together abated with their separation.

On remand, the instant court denied the petition to determine parenthood by equitable estoppel, noting that petitioner absented herself from most subsequent court proceedings.
