Londell McMillan, Katherine Jackson's attorney, announced on The Early Show that a custody agreement had been reached. McMillan stated, "It's an agreement... for the best interests of the children... This is not about the money."
Katherine Jackson, Michael's mother, will get custody of Michael's three children, Blanket, 7,
Debbie Rowe, the mother of Prince and Paris, will be granted visitation rights and she will also retain her parental rights. A psychologist will be supervising the visitation process as Rowe gets to know her children. Additionally, Rowe will continue to receive the monthly settlement payments which Michael had been paying her; however, Rowe will be given no additional money.
Why did Rowe agree to this custody deal?
Many factors may have contributed to Rowe's ultimate decision. First, public opinion was against Rowe since she previously waived her parental rights and did not take the opportunity to get to know her children. Secondly, all three children were old enough to state their preference, and they may have stated that they did not want Rowe to have custody. No one enjoys living with recalcitrant adolescents, and it is doubtful that Rowe is an exception to the rule. Lastly, it is unlikely that Rowe would have prevailed at the custody hearing set for August 3rd since Katherine Jackson's attorney likely would have been able to prove that granting custody to Rowe would have been detrimental to the children as a result of the fact that Rowe had never made an effort to spend time with her children prior to Michael's death.
Joe Jackson did an interview with Smokey Fontaine last weekend. And on camera, Joe said yes, Omar Bhatti is indeed Michael’s secret son.
