Custody Battle Begins




More information:
Debbie Rowe told a Los Angeles TV station that she will undergo DNA testing to prove she is the biological mother of Prince Michael, 12, and Paris, 11. She wants a restraining order to keep Jacko's dad Joe away from the kids.

Debbie spoke out after it emerged she was "intentionally omitted" from the star's £500 million will.

It revealed Jacko wanted his mum Katherine to be the children's guardian.

A judge has delayed a guardianship hearing at the request of lawyers for Katherine and Debbie.

Jacko's alternative choice was singer Diana Ross.

A source close to Debbie said: "Katherine is elderly. And the idea the kids would go to Diana Ross ahead of their biological mother is just stupid."

MICHAEL Jackson's former wife Debbie Rowe last night declared: "I want my children."

And so it begins. Those kids are a goldmine to whoever gets them.

I hope Grandma wins.

The battle will probably rage on for the rest of the kid's childhoods or even beyond. The lawyers will make a mint.

We often talk about having a statement in our will or PoA saying we don't want guardianship, but if it's going to happen anyway, we want XXX to be the guardian, etc.

Well, that's what Jackson did. He said if his Mom couldn't be the children's guardian, then he wanted Diana Ross.

OK, is the court going to stomp all over Jackson's specific wishes?

We shall see!

Surely the kids know their Grandmother best of all and would be happier and more comfortable with her.

Yes, Anonymous 3, I imagine the court will stomp all over Jackson's wishes.

I expect there will be several wills "introduced" and pretty soon they'll be saying there's no way of knowing if Jackson really wanted Diana Ross or not. After the doubt has been planted, they'll do whatever they want.

It's natural that Jackson would want the children's grandmother to take them.

Was the "elderly" Katherine taking care of the kids when their father was alive?
