Jackson's Former Wife Will Not Give Up Parental Rights

Eric George, who is representing Rowe, made public a letter he sent to the New York Post demanding a retraction. The newspaper reported that Rowe had agreed to relinquish parental rights in return for money.

In the letter, George wrote, Ms. Rowe has not acceptedand will not acceptany additional financial consideration beyond the spousal support she and Michael Jackson personally agreed to several years ago.

George said Rowe had not reached an agreement on custody or visitation with the Jackson family. He had said that she would at the minimum seek visitation with the children, if not outright custody.
