Debbie Rowe still undecided on custody of Michael Jackson’s children: lawyer

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

Michael Jackson’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe insists she has not reached a final decision over custody of their children – despite declaring “I want my kids”.

Rowe’s lawyer Eric George insisted on Thursday she is still considering her options – but did not challenge the accuracy of a report quoting her as saying: “I’m going after my children.”

It came as it was confirmed a custody hearing set for next Monday has been postponed until July 13 at the request of the Rowe camp.

Rowe – who insists she is the biological mother of Jackson’s two eldest children – broke her silence since the Thriller singer’s sudden death in a late-night phone call with a local news reporter.

She was quoted as telling the reporter: “They are my flesh and blood. I’m going after my children.”

But George said on Thursday: “I’m representing to you now, unequivocally, Debbie has not reached a final decision concerning the pending custody proceedings.”

The lawyer said although he had no doubt that his client’s conversation with the reporter was accurately and ethically reported, “the truth is that Debbie has not reached a final decision concerning the pending custody proceedings”.

Rowe reportedly told LA news channel KNBCLA she and Jackson “had an agreement” but the music icon “didn’t keep his end”. She also reportedly said she would be open to raising Jackson’s youngest child, seven-year-old Blanket.
