Debbie Rowe to Seek Custody of Michael Jackson's Kids

Debbie Rowe may have been eliminated from Michael Jackson's will, but his kids weren't, which may be why she's come out of the woodwork now and is requesting custody.

She hasn't been apart of her children's lives for years, but now that they're apart of his estate and will be taken care of financially, she all of a sudden wants to play Mommy again.

Debbie, who is the mother of Prince, 12, and Paris, 11, spoke to her former attorney Iris Finsilver, who says, "She is going to be pursuing custody of the children."

"Frankly, she won't have to fight for them," Finsilver tells People. "She is the children's biological mother. She loves her children."

A judge already granted Michael's mother Katherine temporary custody of the kids, and Michael's Will stated that he wanted his mother to gain full custody.

The hearing had been scheduled for Monday, July 6th, but records show attorneys for both sides asked for the hearing to be delayed until July 13.

Quite frankly, Debbie seems to just be a money hungry opportunist. If she cared about being a mother or if she really "loves her children" she would have attempted to have had a relationship with them throughout the years. She just took the nice paycheck Michael wrote her and disappeared.

It's really not up to us to judge. But, it does seem a bit opportunistic for her to jump up and say I want my kids back after all this time not seeming to care. It would be much more Motherly for her to offer to help with the kids in any way she could instead of trying to rip their lives apart.

Jack's will is his will. He wants his mother to keep the kids together. Amen.

But, the idea of splitting the three kids up bothers me a bit. Dianna Ross is also too old to take on the task of parenting three children. This is very difficult. Perhaps the older children can have a say in who they wish to live with. Oh what a problem. Notice Michael did not wish his own siblings to take charge of the kids. I believe that would have been the best for the kidsl--one of Mike's brothers or sisters.

Well, Debbie is the biological mother, and I think the children should go to her if she wants them. She had no earlier dealings with them at Michael's request, which I think is kind of mean-spirited. But, yes, her kids should go to her. Katherine really is to old for the task of caring for them. But, keep Katherine in their lives by visits and communications.

" I am truly torn" as to where these beloved children should call home, Just as with the charges filed against him{that I never thought were true} He still paid, He may have paid Debbie . for the same sort of reason..Sign or I will fight you,These are my babies, Well News flash people , they are hers 2..And her taking the $$$$ so freaking what, You gonna tell me , If you were in her shoes you would not have , Right , like I BELIEVE THAT ...As for visitation I am up in the air on that one...Michael I know you are working the "Night Shift" and I miss and Love you , always a Fan .. ;-)

I feel for Debbie, but if she cared about the children, she wouldn't have taken the money and ran years ago. Plus, I don't think splitting them up is the best idea. I just hope this plays out towards the good of the children.

I hope for the children's sake that this is a false report. She could very easily split the children apart if she proves the two eldest are from her eggs...AND if the sperm used did not belong to MJ...REMEMBER---he did not adopt those kids...so any judge would award the two eldest to Miss. Rowe...as the only biological and legal parent in the picture...I pray they all get to stay together and with Katherine Jackson!

I wouldn't be against her having visitation rights, but that would be it. Primary custody should go to Michael's mom as he requested with Diana Ross as a stand-by.
