In Re Adoption Of S.A.J‪.‬

In this case, we determine whether the doctrine of judicial estoppel bars the attempts of a putative father to obtain custody of a child and vacate an adoption decree, eleven years after he denied paternity in a support proceeding. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the decision of the Superior Court, which held that the putative father was judicially estopped from making his claim.
