Will the paternity of any of Michael Jackson's children be determined?

Settled as No

Background: There's been a lot of speculation as to the biological father of Jackson's 3 kids. Many believe that Jackson's former doctor (and former employer of "mother" Debbie Rowe), Arnold Klein, is the chromosonal donor although he denies it. Brother Tito vehemently declares that Michael is the biological father. One begins to wonder if anyone really knows for sure?

Settlement details:Settles only on official confirmation after DNA testing or any official legal release. Settlement date: January 10, 2010

A test would require adult permission, but I doubt any Jackson wants to hear a different "truth". The whole issue is as bizzare as Michael. I would hope these kids a normal life, yet that is expecting a lot considering all their history, the other players, and the world we live in.

I'm thinking its possible that a paternity test comes into play during the custody hearings. If they're not Micheal's and he never legally adopted them then does his will stipulating they go to Katherine count? I dunno. Those kids are worth a lot of $ so anyone who thinks they have a shot of claiming some of the cash might try to step forward... Time will tell I suppose.

.. and that all adds to the supreme pathos of this whole scene. The kids need to be in contact with others who have been through the same tug of war to help them put feelings in perspective. Is it true they were home schooled, so they have really never known other kids? Where were the other Jackson adults when Michael was doing so much damage to these little people? Not just by over sheltering them, but by all the veils over faces and veiled truths(they did not know Debbie was their birth mother until this past month?!) It is all as weird as MJ, and they will need therapy for a long time to ever get past it all.

I think the kids look a lot like him in all the pictures that have been on the news lately.

yeah, they look a lot like Michael, but you have to remember that Michael's looks have been altered over and over again thru the years. they don't look anything like him when he was a kid!
