What To Expect At The Jackson Court Hearing This Morning
Posted on Mon Aug 3rd, 2009 9:30am PDT By X17 Staff
Katherine, Rebbie, Randy and La Toya Jackson are all currently at the Los Angeles Superior Court for a hearing that will finalize the custody agreement, along with several important issues concerning the Jackson estate.
It was announced last week that Katherine Jackson would get custody of Michael's three children, Prince Michael I, 12, and Paris, 11 and Prince Michael II (aka "Blanket"), 7, and Debbie Rowe's lawyer, Eric George, just said he won't object to Katherine being appointed temporary guardian, but permanent guardianship could be delayed.
A monthly allowance for Katherine and Michael's kids is just one of the many financial matters that will be discussed in court this morning, and though Judge Mitchell Beckloff delayed considering the payments until now, all parties involved seem to agree that they are necessary and that Katherine and the kids are entitled to the money.
Today it will also be decided if Katherine can challenge attorneys John Branca and John McClain, the men currently administering Michael's estate, without actually contesting her son's will. Her attorneys have asked the judge to decide if they petition to remove Branca and McClain as administrators whether or not they will trigger a no-contest clause in Jackson’s trust - if she does, Katherine could lose her 40 percent share of her son's millions.
While it sounds like the custody part of the hearing will go smoothly, the money matters look like they won't be resolved immediately...
