Judge Gives Jacko's Mom Temporary Custody of Kids

Share

(Newser) – A Los Angeles judge today gave Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine, temporary custody of the late singer’s three children, the AP reports. Katherine Jackson was not, however, given guardianship of the children’s estate. A hearing is scheduled Aug. 3 to determine permanent arrangements. “We’re not trying to get custody,” Jackson’s father, Joe, told CNN. “We will get custody and have custody.”

I suspect she would not want guardianship of a minus $30 million estate. Way to go Joe, you always were a control freak!! Reply

You do realize that the Jackson parents are still married, but not living with each other don't you lumina? The Jacksons are Jehovah's Witnesses, they can't divorce unless it's for adultery, so Katherine would be raising them herself, which in iteslf isn't a wise move because of her age.

At least MJ's parents want the children. Rowe said unequivocally a number of times that she has no interest in them. Reply

Because she made the agreement. she was a surrogate and nothing else. His parents on the other hand, do not need a new brood of children to exploit and fuck up.

For the sake of those children, let's all hope they have absolutely no artistic talent whatsoever. Reply
