A Los Angeles Superior Court judge Monday granted Katherine Jackson permanent guardianship of her late son Michael Jackson's three children. The custody ruling came after the Jackson family matriarch reportedly reached an out-of-court agreement with Debbie Rowe, the biological mother of two of the late singer's children -- 11-year-old Paris and 12-year-old Prince Michael.

A lawyer for Michael Jackson's mother says she has reached a custody deal with the biological mother of two of the late U.S.

A Los Angeles County Superior Court spokesman says the hearing over guardianship of the late pop star Michael Jackson's children has been delayed a third time. The unidentified spokesman confirmed Friday the hearing scheduled for Monday has now been delayed until Aug.

Debbie Rowe's lawyer says the mother of two of Michael Jackson's kids hasn't reached a financial deal to relinquish her parental rights as has been reported. Rowe gave birth to Jackson's 11-year-old daughter Paris and 12-year-old son Prince Michael during a brief marriage to the late pop icon, which ended in divorce in 1999.
