Debbie Rowe Has Not Reached A Final Decision About Custody
Debbie Rowe's attorney said that Debbie is still trying to decide if she wants to seek custody of the two children she had with Michael Jackson. "Debbie Rowe has not reached a final decision concerning the custody proceedings," attorney Eric M. George told reporters during a press conference Thursday. "As many of you know, my belief is that the pending custody proceedings are the most private and the most sensitive of matters as they impact the lives and the fates of young children. To that end, I've endeavored out of respect for Michael's children and family, especially in this time of grieving, to keep silence on these matters, to deny all interview requests and to share only that information involving upcoming public court proceedings." A reporter for an LA news station reported that Debbie had told him she "want[s] my children," but Debbie's attorney maintained she has not made a final decision. "I have no reason to doubt that what was reported from that conversation was accurately and ethically reported, but that said, it would be a distortion of the truth to allow that single snapshot of a single conversation, to stand as the truth on Debbie's position on this sensitive matter." When the couple divorced in 1999, Debbie reportedly relinquished her parental rights, according to TMZ, although the judge reportedly later reversed the decision to terminate Debbie's parental rights. Debbie is also said to be willing to take a DNA test to prove she is the older two children's biological mother and she is willing to take all three children to keep them together and would consider obtaining a restraining order against Joe Jackson. The Jacksons reportedly plan to fight this. Hopefully this will be resolved before it gets too nasty. Photos by INF read more
