The Court of Appeals of Washington, Division Two.

December 18, 1989.

ALEXANDER, C.J.

Richard J. Dean appeals a judgment of the Cowlitz County Superior Court declaring him to be the father of twin girls, Esther Ray Dean and Ellen Ray Dean, and ordering him to pay child support. He alleges that this paternity action is barred by principles of res judicata and collateral estoppel. Alternatively he argues that either laches or the interests of public policy preclude the maintenance of the paternity action. We affirm the trial court.
