Katherine Jackson to get full custody of Michael's kids

Mother Debbie Rowe will not get children

Prince, Paris and Blanket will live with their grandmother

The 79-year-old mother of Michael Jackson will receive full custody of the pop singer's three children under the terms of a deal that has just been reached, her lawyer told The Early Show Thursday morning.

"There is no situation better for these children than for them to be raised and reared in the loving care of Mrs. Katherine Jackson," L. Londell McMillan said.

He added that the issue of Debbie Rowe, who is the mother of two of the children – Prince Michael I, 12, and Paris, 11 – will be detailed in an announcement to come shortly. As for speculation that the King of Pop left his family with more debt than money, McMillan said there's no reason for the children or his mother to worry about going broke.

"That estate is worth, in my estimation, a couple of billion dollars," he said. "You hear $500 million. Don't buy it."
