Katherine Jackson, Michael Jackson's mother and her lawyer Perry Sanders Jr. said on
Thursday that guardianship of Michael Jackson’s three children will be shared by Michael’s mother and Tito Jackson's son in a deal that will relieve her of some of the day-to-day stresses of managing a famous family. Tito has approved of the arrangements.
The proposed arrangement could be presented to a judge next week. If approved, it would make Tito Joe "TJ" Jackson a co-guardian of the children who range in ages from 10 to 15.
"Mrs. Jackson is extremely pleased with the prospect of enjoying the pleasure of raising Michael's children without the day-to-day tedium of items such as managing the large staff that goes with such a high-profile family and focus her attention on being a grandmother and raising Michael's children," Sanders wrote in a statement.
"She is eager to simply enjoy her great relationship with these children, while deeding over some of the stressors that go hand in hand with being a guardian," he wrote.
The agreement came after days of turmoil in the Jackson family, including questions about Katherine Jackson's health and whereabouts. Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff said there were no indications the 82-year-old had done anything wrong, and he would likely re-instate her as guardian upon her return.
