## Opinion text

HOUSTON M. GODDARD, P.J.,
concurring.
I reluctantly concur in the result reached by the majority opinion, but only on the ground of res judicata.
My reluctance stems from the fact that Mr. Russell, the biological father, is presently married to the child’s mother, and presumably is content to permit Mr. West to continue to support Mr. Russell’s own flesh and blood.
