Michael Jackson’s mother Katherine Jackson has now officially been granted custody of her son’s three children Paris, Prince Michael and Prince Michael II. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge Mitchell Beckloff has ruled today that Katherine Jackson will become a permanent guardian for the three of Michael Jackson’s children. In his will from 2002, Michael Jackson pointed to his mother as a potential guardian for his children. Meanwhile, Deborah Rowe, the mother of Jackson’s two eldest children, will not get any custody, but will get visitation rights and spousal support payments.

Michael Jackson died unexpectedly on June 25. His passing led to lots of questions surrounding the circumstances of his death, his finances, and the custody of his children.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has appointed Katherine Jackson as the permanent guardian of Michael Jackson's three children in a hearing concerning the estate of the late singer.

The amount of Katherine Jackson's allowance, paid out of her son's estate, was not revealed. Rowe is to continue to receive alimony payments agreed to by Michael Jackson.

Good news! I hope people can leave them alone now, and let them be "normal" kids.

Here's an interesting little tidbit:

Michael Jackson’s former dermatologist made a surprise objection to a judge’s decision to award custody of the late singer’s three children to their 79-year-old grandmother, Katherine Jackson.

The objection was overruled, but Dr Klein — who has previously said that he is not the father of any of Mr Jackson’s children "to the best of my knowledge" — can still appeal.
