Michael Jackson's mom asked for, and was granted, temporary custody of the late singer's three children.
Katherine Jackson, 79, filed for guardianship in a Los Angeles courthouse on Monday, and a judge granted her request, and also set a hearing for August 3rd.
Jackson has also filed for administration of Michael Jackson's estate.
Michael's father, Joe Jackson, was not listed in the Guardianship petition.
Katherine Jackson's 22-page petition claims the children "have no relationship with their biological mother" and have been in the care of their grandmother, "with whom they have a long established relationship," since Michael's death.
Deborah Rowe, biological mom of Michael's two oldest children, has not stated her intentions regarding the children, yet.
Michael's youngest child was born to an unnamed surrogate.

I hope Michael Jackson had at least the common sense to complete a will regarding his assets, wishes and most important his children. His children need to stay with the people they are familiar with. That would be the Jackson family. That would be the least traumatic for them. They don't know their mother. Doesn't matter how "loving" she is, they don't know her.
well it's possible rowe will not seek cutosdy; what I have heard though is that even if Michael has a will stating his wishes, if the mom wantsthe kids back, she is in the strongest position to win custody.
This is all very interesting. One thing that is on my mind. Has anyone asked the children how they feel?
