Guardianship Hearing For Michael Jackson Children Delayed; Settlement In Works
July 10 2009, Published 9:18 a.m. ET
A guardianship hearing pertaining to Michael Jackson's three children was delayed from July 13 to July 20.
The delay keeps Michael's mom Katherine with temporary guardianship of the children. Debbie Rowe, who says she is the biological mother of two of Michael’s children, at one point said she wanted custody although her lawyers later backed off that statement. No reason was given for the hearing delay.
