TMZ is reporting that Michael Jackson never legally adopted his three children, Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II.

Since Michael's most likely not even the biological father of any of the children, this may have some effect on his mother's custody claims. Of course, Debbie Rowe has yet to state whether or not she intends to fight Katherine for custody and Prince Michael II's biological mother still remains a mystery.

He may not be their "legal" parent, but he is still their "presumed" parent, which the judge will most likely take into account.
