• This estoppel usu. arises when the man (1) has lived with the child for at least two years, (2) has believed in good faith that he was the child’s father, (3) has accepted parental responsibilities, and (4) has entered into a coparenting agreement with the child’s mother — and when the court finds that recognition of the status of parent is in the child’s best interests. See ESTOPPEL.
