2 Citing cases

  1. Matter of Baby Girl

    103 Misc. 2d 542 (N.Y. Fam. Ct. 1980)

    Other courts have held that the consent of the natural father to an adoption is now required as a result of the Caban decision. (People ex rel. Deborah G. v Doe, NYLJ, Dec. 19, 1979, p 15, col 5; Matter of "R" Children, 100 Misc.2d 248.) The granting of statutory rights by judicial declaration was rejected by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Orr v Orr ( 440 U.S. 268).

  2. Spence-Chapin v. Tedeno

    101 Misc. 2d 485 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. 1979)   Cited 22 times

    Recent legislation and case law reflect an increased concern for the rights of unwed fathers. (See, e.g., Family Ct Act, ยง 522; Caban v Mohammed, 441 U.S. 380; Stanley v Illinois, 405 U.S. 645; Matter of "R" Children, 100 Misc.2d 248.) However, the concern expressed is that an unwed father be accorded the same rights as an unwed mother.
