The much-anticipated custody battle for Michael Jackson’s children will no longer happen. This after Debbie Rowe, two of the kids’ mother, has allegedly sold her parental rights to the Jacksons for a whopping $4 million. Rowe has sold her kids again.

Days after Michael Jackson died last June 25, 2009, speculations were rife that the two eldest kids’ biological mother would fight for their custody. A Los Angeles court granted temporary custody to the three Jackson children and the King of Pop himself granted it through his will to his mother Katherine. Media
reports, however, claim that Debbie Rowe would fight for the kids. This was further bolstered by claims of her attorney that Rowe would indeed want to have custody of the children.

But now, the New York Post claims that a settlement has been reached between the two parties. No custody battle will ensue and Rowe has surrendered all her parental rights to the children to the tune of $4 million:

After the birth of son Prince Michael, now 12, and daughter Paris, 11, she agreed to allow Jackson to raise them in exchange for a lump sum of $8 million, plus $900,000 annually for five years, the source said.

When Jacko was accused of child molestation in 2001, Rowe resurfaced to reclaim her rights. But she wound up giving her ex-husband full custody of the kids anyway — in exchange for another $4 million plus a $900,000 home.

This time around, she is forfeiting her restored parental rights to Jackson’s mom, Katherine, in exchange for yet another roughly $4 million, the family source said.

“This would be it. This takes away any rights she has to challenge custody at any given time,” the source said.
