In Re the Marriage of Halvorsen

ANDREASEN, Justice.

This appeal from a dissolution decree involves a custody dispute over a child who is not the biological child of the husband. The stepparent seeks custody of the child claiming that the mother should be equitably es-topped from denying his paternity or that she waived her rights to deny his paternity.
