Sinicropi v. Mazurek
Court of Appeals of Michigan
729 N.W.2d 256 (2006)
Relevant factsFree
Powers had signed a voluntary paternity acknowledgment and obtained joint custody of Mazurek's (defendant) child, but a later DNA test revealed Sinicropi (plaintiff) was the biological father; the trial court denied Mazurek's petitions to revoke Powers's acknowledgment while simultaneously entering an order of filiation naming Sinicropi as the child's legal father.
IssueFree
Whether a court may enter an order of filiation if an unrevoked acknowledgment of parentage is already in place.
