Debbie Rowe claims supporting new guardianship agreement

09/08/2012 00:00

Debbie Rowe -- the woman who gave birth to  the woman who gave birth to the two oldest children of Michael Jackson, Prince and Paris, has filed legal papers saying she supports the new joint guardianship arrangement, but claims she is warning TJ and Katherine and she will intervene if things don't work out.

Rowe filed the documents in L.A. County Superior Court today saying she has reviewed the co-guardianship application and signed off on the deal reached between TJ and Katherine to share parenting responsibilities for Prince, Paris and Blanket. 

But in the docs, Debbie says, "Should the arrangement sought by TJ Jackson and Katherine Jackson become untenable, unstable, unsafe, or in any way contrary to the best interests of the children, Ms. Rowe will seek court intervention."

Rowe claims her concern is for the health, safety and well-being of HER children; and says she will continue to ensure their needs are met. 

Remember, when TJ first petitioned for guardianship, the judge said that Debbie must be notified.

Debbie Rowe worked at Michael Jackson's dermatologist's office in Los Angeles when she met Michael Jackson. After hearing that Michael Jackson wanted to have children, she offered to have his children and they made an agreement. In March 1996 Rowe announced that she was pregnant but later suffered a miscarrage. In November 1996, when Rowe was six months pregnant, she and Jackson married at a hotel in Sydney, Australia, although they never lived togheter.

In February 1997, Rowe gave birth to Prince Michael Jr. The child spent several hours in special care before Jackson rushed him to his Neverland Ranch, where a team of nannies stood waiting. Several months later, Rowe announced that she was pregnant again. On April 3, 1998, the second child, Paris Michael Katherine, was born. Jackson later told reporters that he was so excited about the birth that he wrapped the baby in a towel and fled home shortly after the cord was cut.

After Paris' birth, due to childbirth complications, Rowe was no longer able to have children. Afterwards, Rowe filed for divorce six months later. In 1999, she accepted a settlement of more than $6 million as well as ownership of the couples' Beverly Hills mansion. In return, Rowe gave up her custodial rights to the children, and agreed to one visit every 45 days, even though she did not visit them if not in very sporadic occasions, like when Michael Jackson wanted to make a photo album of them both together with the two children. Two years later, she applied to the court to terminate her parental rights completely, claiming it was in the childrens' best interest. 

In 2005, after the molestation case, Rowe told the court he was a loving and caring father. During the case she revealed that she had not seen Jackson or her children for several years, which discredited her testimony. Michael Jackson was later acquitted on all counts.

In 2006, Rowe took Jackson back to court in order to have her parental rights restored. During the case she also complained that Jackson had stopped paying her. The case was settled out of court. Rowe sold the house shortly after and moved to Palmdale, California, to raise and breed horses. She stayed out of the public eye until June 25, 2009. In Michael Jackson's will, he named his mother, Katherine, as guardian of his three children. Media reports say that Rowe may contest the decision, although she currently remains silent on the issue.
