Amidst all the upheaval and problems surrounding Michael Jackson’s three children, at least one issue has now been officially resolved. Debbie Rowe, biological mother of the late Prince of Pop’s oldest children, Prince Michael and Paris, has officially agreed that she will not be seeking to challenge Katherine Jackson for their custody.

A joint statement was released Thursday by lawyers representing both Ms. Rowe and Mrs. Jackson. The statement said that the agreement did not involve any financial payments to be made in addition to the spousal support that Michael Jackson had personally agreed to continue making to his ex wife while he was still alive.

Indeed Ms. Rowe had never said publically that she ever intended to seek a reinstatement of the parental rights she gave up in 2001 when Michael Jackson was granted sole custody of the children, who are now 11 and 12. In 2003 she briefly sought custody again, and a court did rule that her parental rights had been terminated improperly, leaving the door open for a future custody battle, but she made no such motions while her ex husband, from whom she was divorced in 1999 after a two year marriage, was alive.

The agreement will be made official at a family court hearing scheduled in Los Angeles scheduled for Monday. Lawyers for both sides have agreed that the children’s mother should be afforded visitation rights, in a “manner and frequency agreed upon by a child psychologist who is being paid by both Debbie Rowe and Katherine Jackson jointly” according to the lawyers’ statement.

The judge who will preside over Monday’s hearing will also be considering another, more contentious issue; who has control over the late singer’s estate.

Earlier this month that judge, Mitchell Beckloff granted an order of temporary control to the executors named in Michael Jackson’s 2002 will: his longtime personal attorney John Branca and music industry mogul and close friend John McClain. Katherine Jackson however suspects that the two did not have her son’s best interests at heart while he was alive and that she should have more control of the estate, which different sources currently value at anywhere between $500 million and $2 billion, although the figure is likely to swell, much as the estate of Elvis Presley has continued to do 25 years after his death.

The estate’s current executors do not seem to financially benefit from the will in any way, as its provisions place all money and assets into a trust that benefits Michael Jackson’s mother, his three children and several unnamed charities.
