722 N.W.2d 898 (2006)

271 Mich. App. 382

Douglas COBLE and Rochelle Coble, Plaintiffs/Counterdefendants-Appellees, v. Russell L. GREEN and Russell L. Green, P.C., Defendants/Counterplaintiffs-Appellants.

Court of Appeals of Michigan.

Decided June 15, 2006, at 9:00 a.m.

Released for Publication October 2, 2006.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Nora Lee Wright, Ann Arbor, for the plaintiffs.

Josh Fields and Associates (by Joseph H. Fields), East Lansing, for the defendants.

Before: KIRSTEN FRANK KELLY, P.J., and JANSEN and TALBOT, JJ.

KIRSTEN FRANK KELLY, P.J.

In this legal malpractice case, defendants appeal as of right a judgment entered against them following a jury trial. We affirm. Because a court determination that a man is the equitable father of a child is mutually exclusive of a determination that the child was born out of wedlock, an equitable parentage order precludes the mother from having standing to assert a paternity action regarding that child.
