Jackson Family Will Fight Rowe Tooth and Nail

Michael Jackson's family will wage an epic battle to make sure Paris and Michael Jr. do not end up in the custody of one Debbie Rowe -- this according to family members who spoke with TMZ.

The family is currently gathered together and they are reacting to our story this morning that Rowe never legally gave up her custody rights. Under California law, Rowe is in a position to get custody of her biological kids if she wants them, provided it would not be detrimental to the children.

The family complained to us the kids don't even know Debbie Rowe -- she hasn't been a part of their lives. They say the kids must remain "within the family."

34. It bothered me when she said she would take only the two she gave birth to. These children don't need to be split up.

35. No she should not get the kids. She walked away from them for money and will only walk back into their lives for the money. Fight her to the end Jackson family and keep those kids where they are loved and protected. My heart goes out to you and you are in my prayers. God bless and you will see your loved ones again one day.

36. PRINCE, PARIS AND PRINCEII SHOULD REMAIN WITH THE JACKSON FAMILY TOGETHER, THEY SHOULD NOT BE SEPARATED THIS IS HARD ENOUGH TIME FOR THEM AND THEY NEED EACH OTHER TO SURVIVE THIS, BUT MAYBE NOW IS THE TIME TO LET HER BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH HER CHILDREN, NOW THEY HAVE NO FATHER A MOTHER MAYBE WHAT THEY NEED NO MATTER WHAT SHE HAS BEEN TO THEM IN THE PAST

37. Debbie was just an egg doner Michael wouldn't want the mother of his children spoken ill of but I'm sure he'd want his side of the family to take custody of his kids. We are praying for the family...thanks TMZ for keeping us posted! Please stop using the name Jacko! RIP Michael!

38. Hope they got DNA from MJ to prove he is the father! Bet he isn't! And yes Deb Rowe can get her kids.

39. My son's father is like that. If anything ever happened to me he TECHNICALLY could still fight to take custody of him. But it would be a nightmare for him. He doesn't know is father. His father doesn't pay child support. His father doesn't care to come the TWO miles to come see him. I initially thought it would be best for them to go with their mother, but she's wackier than Michael for giving them up like she did. How kooky do you have to be to give up your flesh and blood as a GIFT to a man?

40. Only time will tell what happens to those innocent children who have been subjected to his obvious drug abuse throughout the years and are about to be used as pawns or future slave laborers by the family for money. The children have the DNA of Ms. Rowe and a sperm donor not that of Mr. Jackson. If they ever need serious medical assistance, i.e. medical history for diseases, etc.,, it is the biological mother who can provide them with assistance not the dysfunctional people who stole their son's childhood experiences which prevented him from normal relationships with women and a real man in life. Pray for Michael Jackson's soul!

43. Those kids were screwed up enough living with a drug addict child molester, the last thing they need is to be "in the family" of lunatics. A stranger on the street would be better parents than that messed up family.

44. Should be a good fight. The Jacksons are not even blood relatives of these kids. God only knows who Blanket's mother is. The other kids might not know their mother , but it doesn't seem like they were around the Jacksons all that much either. We all know how stable the Jackson family is. Wonder if Joe Jackson will treat the Grandkids any better than he treated Micheal. I would think Michael would have had a Will and would have assigned Guardianship for the kids. But still, Rowe didn't legally sign away her rights as a parent. Ah, let the blood letting begin. I bet Debbie has a closet full of Jackson skeletons.
