Debbie Rowe, Michael Jackson’s ex wife and the mother of his children, has weighed in on the contentious guardianship issue. She has legally signed off on the co-guardianship agreement between TJ Jackson and Katherine Jackson. However, she has reserved the right to intervene if she feels they are insufficient in their duties. The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

The mother of two of Michael Jackson’s children has given her consent for the kids’ guardianship to be shared between Katherine Jackson and the late star’s nephew T.J.

Debbie Rowe, who was married to the “Thriller” singer for three years in the 1990s, is mother to his son Prince Michael and daughter Paris, and she has filed legal documents approving their care following a Jackson family feud last month.

The former nurse filed the papers at Los Angeles County Superior Court on Thursday and insists she will intervene if
she becomes unhappy with how the children are being looked after.
