MJ’s Mom Gets Custody of Star’s Kids
On Friday, we wondered what was going to happen to the late Michael Jackson’s children. Today, we found the first person to step up and ask for custody of the Jackson toddlers: Michael Jackson’s 79-year old mother, Katherine Jackson.
The Jackson matriarch gained temporary guardianship of the tykes and may be granted control of the pop star’s entire estate, according to NY Daily News. Seemingly the only obstacle to K. Jackson’s quest would be if Debbie Rowe, the estranged mother of Michael’s two children, entered the picture. Rowe has yet to claim custody.
Michael Jackson’s 79-year-old mother won temporary guardianship of his three children Monday and moved to take control of his estate.
Michael Joseph Jr., 12, Paris Michael Katherine, 11, and Prince “Blanket” Michael II, 7, who have lived an extraordinarily sheltered life with their eccentric father, could inherit millions.
“I don’t think there will be anybody who thinks that there is someone better” to have custody than Katherine Jackson, Jackson family attorney Londell McMillan said on NB’s “Today” show.
“She is a very loving host of other grandchildren.”
Katherine Jackson and Joe Jackson, the father he feared and hated, separated in the 1980s. His address was listed as “to be provided” in her custody filing.
McMillan said the family hasn’t heard from Debbie Rowe, the mother of Jackson’s two oldest children. She reportedly has had no involvement in the children’s lives and the family’s filing lists her whereabouts as “unknown.”
