In the case of K.A.F. v. D.L.M., a New Jersey appellate court recognized that a same-sex stepparent who has raised a child from a young age can seek custody or visitation with the child if it is considered to be in child's best interest. The court acknowledged that children prefer to maintain a relationship with a psychological parent, even if the child has other legal parents, and even if the psychological parent was not married to one of the parents.
D.L.M. was represented on appeal by Abbey True Harris of Fox Rothschild LLP.
