Debbie Rowe, Paris Jackson's Mother, to Become Legal Guardian After Suicide Attempt?
Debbie Rowe may be positioning herself to become the legal guardian of Paris, but the Jackson family has said that they would vigorously fight to make sure that does not happen.
In the wake of Paris Jackson's suicide attempt, news arose that the legal guardian of Jackson was not living at the house. TJ was responsible for providing supervision and care when the teen attempted suicide and now family services have reportedly opened an investigation.
Michael Jackson's nephew, TJ, was a co-guardian of Michael Jackson's three children when the singer died in 2009, along with his grandmother Katherine, 83. But several reports are revealing that TJ reportedly moved more than two hours away from where Paris, 15, Prince, 16, and Blanket, 11, live in Los Angeles without notifying Child and Family Services.

Paris is having a hard time connecting with her grandmother and Rowe is now an option for guardianship if Paris wants it, TMZ is reporting. The two have grown close in the last several months and the move seems like a mother reaching out, but the Jackson family feels the motives are different.
"If her intentions were pure she'd be speaking to the family," a source told TMZ as they believe her motive is to get in the public eye. The family plans to fight Rowe "tooth and nail."
An attorney for Jackson's grandmother, Katherine, released a statement Thursday confirming that the teen was fine and requested privacy.
"Being a sensitive 15-year-old is difficult no matter who you are. It is especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you, her father. Paris is physically fine and is getting appropriate medical attention. Please respect her privacy and the family's privacy," Perry Sanders wrote in a statement.
"Thank you for the outpouring of concern and support for Paris. She is safe and doing fine. We truly appreciate you respecting our family's privacy at this time," the statement added.
