Michael Jackson’s ex wife may seek children’s custody

The pop legend’s three children are currently in the custody of his mother,Catherine Jackson,79,who has also been named as the custodian of Jackson’s estate as per the pop star’s will written in 2002.

Jackson chose close friend Diana Ross,65,to raise his three children if his mother is “is unwilling or unable” to do so,while no mention has been made of Rowe,who some reports claim was merely a surrogate and not the biological mother of the legend’s two elder children.

Rowe,who currently lives on a Palmdales farm,will attend a custody hearing on Monday and had earlier expressed her wish to have more access to the children she gave birth to.

The newspaper added that Rowe,who met Jackson while working for his dermatologist,would get preference over any designated guardian in a courtroom battle.

Rowe had initially signed a contract waiving her parental rights but she later changed her mind and went to court to contest the waiver when Jackson was charged with child molestation. An appeals court ruled in her favor in 2006,and the custody battle was eventually settled out of court.

The newspaper further added,”Court records and interviews paint Rowe as vulnerable,an animal-lover who doted lavishly on her horses,dogs and birds as though they were her children and vacillated in her desires to see the girl and boy she bore with Jackson.”

Jackson’s third child,Prince Michael II,7,was conceived with a surrogate mother,reportedly European,whose identity is not known.
