"They are my flesh and blood," Debbie said of the two children. She had willingly agreed to let Michael rear the children, but his early death caused her to change her mind and state, "We had an agreement and he didn't keep his end."
One of Rowe's legal aces Marta Almi told RadarOnline.com "I confirm that Mr. Eric George will be attending the Monday hearing on Ms. Rowe's behalf."
Prince Michael and Paris are currently living with their grandmother Katherine, who has been granted temporary guardianship of them by an LA judge.
