    Welcome back and thanks for joining us again for this discussion about paternity in Michigan.

    Establishing paternity is done in one of three ways here in Michigan, namely an affidavit of parentage, a DNA test, or a court order.

    On June 24th, 2015, the United States Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage was to be legally recognized in all 50 states.
