The applicant mother sought a divorce, sole decision-making responsibility, and child support for two children.
The respondent father sought to set aside a stepparent adoption order regarding the older child, alleging it was obtained by fraud, and sought primary care of that child to return to the Dominican Republic.
The court found that while the father had fraudulently obtained the biological mother's consent for immigration and the adoption order was based on false representations, setting aside the adoption was not in the child's best interests.
The court granted the mother sole decision-making responsibility, ordered supervised parenting time for the father, and ordered the father to pay ongoing child support and arrears.
