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."

63. "Here's what happened. We spoke with Lance Spiegel, the lawyer who repped Jackson at the time. Spiegel says under the law, the Department of Children and Family Services must conduct a parental fitness investigation before parental rights are terminated and that didn't happen with Rowe."

Hmm... is that not only when parental rights are involuntarily terminated, or otherwise, by court action?

This cessation of parental rights was voluntary.

However, is she receiving an allowance as part of her deal...and is it being called "child support?" That could raise issues.

64. Jackson family could care less about those kids who belong with their momma. All they see is the goldmine left behind for the kids. The Jackson family has ruined enough lives with their greed.

65. Excuse me I think Debbie Rowe would be better then living with Joseph Jackson. Katherine let Joseph beat all the Jackson children and she is no better. This is crazy the woman gave birth to those children she is their Mother. I love Michael Jackson and I listened to him he was abused what part of that says that Joe and Katherine Jackson should parent those children.

66. I feel that if the kids have never interacted with Debbie then it is only fair that the kids stay with the only family they know, the Jacksons... as it is already overwhelming the great loss of their father I think it would be devasting for the children to move in with a complete stranger. The best thing for them is to stay with the grandparents.

67. The kids will go and live with their grandmother, no judge will split them up, they are already a family unit, the three of

them. just hope that they are okay.

if the mother makes a move to split them, then she is wrong. no mother would do that....

68. Will they need to prove that he is their biological father? We all know that he isn't, but the kids were legally his... Hmmm.

That's exactly why I thought they should go with Debbie initially. I dunno, maybe give them to a distant reletive who isn't enmeshed in all this hullabaloo. Let them live normally. Out in the sun. On swingsets and in swimming pools in Iowa. It's probably the best thing the court could do for the kids. Just send them on a lifelong vacation from the whirlpool of mentally disturbed adults.

73. For kids' sake take them as far away from Jackson family as possible. Detrimental, damaging. It will take a life time of therapy to be normal again. Debbie needs to take care of the kids. Money doesn't matter, values do.

74. The family doesn't know the kids either, one of the articles says the kids were just getting to know their family and cousins.
As long as Debbie can provide a good life for them, think they should be with Mom.

75. Any father as protective as Michael has made arrangements for them in advance. Also, his kids are old enough to pick as usually kids know who they feel safest with. All the kids must stay together regardless of how they became Michael's children. The important thing is that the nanny stay with them forever and always as she has mothered them since they were born. Taking her away would be cruel.
