Jackson Custody Decided! Mom Gets the Kids!
The battle for Michael Jackson's kids is over!
According to breaking reports, Katherine Jackson will get custody of her son's three children, Prince Michael, Paris, and Blanket.
Katherine Jackson's attorney, L. Londell McMillan, made the announcement this morning on CBS' Early Show, revealing that Debbie Rowe, the biological mom of Michael's two eldest kids, agreed to give the grandmother full custody as long as she could have visitation rights.
"It's an agreement. . .for the best interests of the children. This is not a money deal. There's no situation better for these children then to be raised and reared under the care of Mrs. Jackson," the lawyer said.
So, the word is that Debbie isn't getting any cash for giving up her rights to the kids.
This is what Michael wanted -- and it's obviously where those kids belong. What do you think of this surprising turn of events?

i think debbie rowe is a sorry mother and she don;t need to be a parent i also think the jackson family is unfit to raise them kids their life style is warped them kids arr in diar need to be with fit parents i hope 1of them kids don;t belong to lisa marie if they do she needs to go get her kid sheila carter
So who raised you with that warped brain
I'm so happy to hear that Grandma Jackson, Katherine got custody of MJ's children. Debbie Rowe never wanted those kids, she was only in it for the money - everyone could see right through her! Besides she would have made an awful mother!
Rowe doesn't deserve visitation rights, but it is good that the children will remain with their grandmother where they belong. Hopefully Micahel can be at peace knowing this good news. Paris and Prince Michael should tell Rowe where to go when they are old enough to tell a judge their wishes.
Good outcome. The kids grew up with the Jacksons or at least knew the Jacksons. They do not know Debbie as their mother. Furthermore the Jacksons can give them the life-style they are used to, not Debbie. Debbie said she never wanted to be a mom. She had the kids because she said Michael loved kids and she wanted to give him kids as a gift. She said Michael did all the caring of the kids since birth and she did nothing. So it's good how this custody agreement turns out.
Debbie is a sorry and a let down to all mothers.How can you give up your parental rights?This is the time she could have bonded with the kids!She is a disgrace!
woohooo, i'm soo relieved that micheal jackson's mum got custody of those poor kids. they lost their dad so young but micheal jackson trust his mother to love and care for his children if anything was to happen to him.
Who is this other woman think she is...she signed her rights away when she got money and now that micheal is gone she thinks she can get back in, no way and obviously the judges can see right through her...good job!!!
I believe Debbie Rowe is looking at this picture for the
long term. If something happens to Mrs. Jackson (she is
elederly) Debbie can get in on it at that time.
She will have been in their life and they will know her
as the mother. So if their is money involved she will
want to test the waters in a court battle against Diana Ross.
At last Michael Jackson can rest in peace knowing that his children will be where they belong - with the Jackson family - surrounded by those that love them - grandparents aunts and uncles.
Debbie Rowe happily gave up the children when they were born so it was surprising she thought she could have them back
It is a sad commentary on the American educational system that Sheila Carter can express herself in that fashion!
My English teachers would cringe!!!!
Hopefully this works out well for the jackson children. we are not in a position to judge anyone here because of the wealth and being celebritys, they are used to a totally different lifesyle than we can imagine. i see nothing wrong with what Debbie Rowe did, people give their children up for adoption everyday (and usually receive cash, healthcare, etc). children should be loved and michael jackson dearly loved his children as the facts show.
Well, give MJs kids a couple of months with the JW grandparents and relatives, and they'll be in the same shape as MJ. Why do you think MJ loved being with children? He never had a childhood. How do I know? Because Ilived the same hell MJ did. At this point in my life, if there is a crown of people standing around, I gravitate to the kids, because, I don't have any social skills for adults, and don't understand their life, because I was never considerred adult enough to mix with adults, but never got to have school friends either, and I'm not a pedophile. Also I can't believe, that MJs mother had the balls to admit that MJ was supporting her just to get ahold of MJs money. Sell your damn $5M home, kick the grandkids back to their parents, and learn how to support yourself. You should be ashamed of yourself. All MJ did his whole life, was buy his mothers love, because I've done the same my whole life, and was never appreciated. The Judge better keep an eye on this family, because there are so many articles of abuse of Children of Jehovahs Witnesses, I fear for there life. And even if they survive, watch out Emotionally, and mentally!!!!!!!!!!
I'm glad they get to stay with their grandmother. You can tell that they were well loved and cared for while growing up by the eloquent and intelligent way Paris spoke at the memorial service, and the videos broadcast thereafter. I believe family unity with their father, grandmother, aunts and uncles had a hand in that.
Sheila, what do you propose? Throwing them into the system? You are an imbecile! Try thinking before you speak from now on.
i am so happy that grandma jacson will be looking after michaels children that was his wish and it was granted may god bless all the family and michael
I am also happy with this outcome, but people half to know that when they devorced she could have tryed to take Jackson to the BANK, and she didnt, i dont care if there was a prenump, ..i think it strange that Jackson didnt want these Moms in his kids life...all Children need Moms in there life, i think it was wrong to throw money at this woman and tell her to go away..im happy there was no money involved in this, she will win the love of her children and always be taken care of, she aint no Dummy ,, and good for her..i think it was another case of rich man throwing money around and getting what he wanted , when he wanted..thats why he Died really, what drug addict wouldnt want to be put under every night, sad, i liked Jackson and never beleived the kid rape thing, i know that he just made it seem like he did when he would pay money to these so called victoms..but if your not an addict as i am you dont understand , you will pay for the problem to go away, trust me Jacksons biggest fear was being thrown in JAIL with no drugs, DETOX is a sunofagun trust me i have ben there, may Jackson rest in peace, and i hope people can understand that Jackson seemed wierd cause the life of a drug addict is just that, and also i hope people can start to believe that he was not a Child molestor...just a verry lonely sole.
I am very happy with the outcome, that's what Michael wanted and I am glad that the judge saw it that way.
Wow! So many of you need to take GRAMMAR lessons!! That's scary!
I am glad Rowe is not getting custody... I am a bit leery about the grandmother being upset about not getting more money though. Surely, it was a farse. The children seem to be at ease with the Jackson family as a whole. I am sure they will be cared for. I just hope Micheals dad doesn't have a lot to do with the kids(as we all know how he was with his own children). I just pray they live happy lives, and look past teh oddity of things their father did. After all, it truly does sound like he was such a good dad to his kids....
I am glad Granma Jackson got the kid's. No one is better than a grandma next to the parent.
I HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE WOMAN UNDER ME THAT THE JACKSONS SHOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN THE CHILDREN....ALL JOE JACKSON SEES WHEN HE LOOKS AT THESE CHILDREN IS A PAYCHECK...IT WAS THE SAME WAY WITH HIS CHILDREN....SAY WHAT YOU WANT BUT IF DEBBIE HAD WANTED THOSE KIDS SHE WOULD HAVE THEM.....AND SHOULD HAVE THEM.. SHE IS THIER MOTHER WE DONT KNOW WHAT SHE AND MICHAEL HAD WORKED OUT AND SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SEEING THE CHILDREN ALL THIS TIME WITHOUT US "THE AMERICAN PEOPLE" KNOWING IT.....GET OVER YOURSELVES
I think the children should be with their grandma. They need someone to love them an nuture them with guidance of right an wrong. Just hope they can have a normal life as can be. Children lost their only parent an need some stability in their lives and Mrs. Jackson can provide that.
I DON'T AGREE. THE CUSTODY SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE MOTHER. BECAUSE WHO KNOWS THAT THE CHILD HAS A JACKSON BLOOD IN THE VEIN. IT IS THE MOTHER MOSTLY WHO KNOWS WHO IS THE FATHER AFTER ALL. MICHAEL IS DEAD NOW NO ONE WOULD KNOW THE TRUTH. AFTER ALL SHE IS NOT A BAD MOTHER.
SYBIL
I THINK ALL IS WELL.WONDERFUL NEWS, IT JUST CANT BE ANY BETTER THAN THAT. HALLELUJAH! TO THE GLORY OF GOD.
