CHARISMA R. V. KRISTINA S.
44 Cal.Rptr.3d 332 (2006)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Charisma (P) appealed a denial of her petition to establish a
parental relationship with a child born to her former domestic partner, Kristina (D).
FACTS: Charisma R. (P) and Kristina S. (D) were a same sex couple who registered as
domestic partners with the State of California in January 2002. They decided they wanted to
have children and D would be the first to try to become pregnant. D became pregnant by
artificial insemination and gave birth to Amalia in April 2003. There was no strife in the
relationship at this time and P and D both participated in the insemination and birth.
Within a few months of the birth, D moved out of the home she shared with P, taking Amalia
with her. D allowed P to see Amalia on only two occasions in the summer of 2003. In the
summer of 2005, P moved to Texas with Amalia. In May 2004, P filed a petition to establish a
parental relationship with Amalia. The trial court denied the petition, concluding that
Charisma lacked standing to bring the action under the Uniform Parentage Act (UPA). P
appealed.
