Michael Jackson’s Children’s World Becomes Even More Bizarre

It is plain to see that Michael Jackson’s children Michael Joseph, Jr. 12 or “Prince Michael, Paris Michael Katherine 11, “Paris” and Prince “Blanket” Michael II, 7, have lead far from normal lives. But, it seems certain their lives are going to become more chaotic.
Jackson and Debbie Rowe, the mother of the two oldest children, were married in 1996. Rowe was six months pregnant at the time. The couple were divorced in 1999 and Rowe, after a long custody battle, relinquished all parental rights to Jackson in exchange for, among other considerations, a $1 million home in Beverly Hills. At one time she stated the reason she had the children was “so he could become a father”. Further, Rowe was asked in court during the custody trial if she had considered what would happen to the children if Jackson died and her answer was “I’m sure he’s…he has a wonderful person in mind to take care of them”. Also asked if she understood that she had no right to care for the children she stated, “No. And I don’t want to. and…not that I don’t love them. I do. I think they’re adorable. They’re his kids. They’re his kids. They’re not my kids. They’re his kids”. That pretty much sums up her position.
”Blanket’s” mother was a surrogate and would have signed a surrogacy agreement. Surrogacy agreements contain a clause stating the surrogate will not attempt to have any relationship with the child unless the child requests it when at an age to make an informed decision.
There are also questions as to whether Jackson is actually the biological father of the three children. TV journalist Diane Diamond alledges she knows the identity of the real sperm donor but doesn’t want to reveal the information. In support of her statement she points to the fact that all three children are fair skinned and blue eyed.
There are three likely possibilities as to who will be given custody. One would be the Jackson family. They would be the people the children would most identify, and be identified, with. If a member or members of the Jackson family are given guardianship of them, the children would remain together which would be crucial to their well-being and sense of stability.
A second possibility would be Rowe. If she has any legal rights at all, they would only apply to Prince Michael and Paris. That would mean they would be separated from Blanket, a step a court would be extremely hesitant to take.
The third possibility is that Jackson has named a guardian for his children in his will. That person, or persons, would be the most likely one(s) to be granted custody of all three children.
These children obviously need to be in a stable, loving home. The question remains, whose home would that be and how soon would that happen. Hopefully a quick and amicable decision will be made.
