D.K. and R.C., respectively the father and mother of H.C., lived together for eight months with R.C.'s four-year-old son, M.C. Five months after the relationship ended, and R.C. moved out, she gave birth to H.C. Until H.C. was one year old, R.C. had sole custody of H.C.; she denied D.K.'s paternity. At that time, D.K. obtained a court declaration that he was H.C.'s father. Three days prior to entry of D.K.'s paternity order, the Division of Family and Youth Services (DFYS) filed a Petition for Adjudication of Child In Need of Aid (CINA) and for temporary placement of H.C. After a hearing, the superior court issued an order giving the State temporary custody.
