Jackson, Rowe settle dispute over custody of money

Michael Jackson has dealt with another piece of the legal business distracting him as he prepares to release his benefit single following the recent destruction of the World Trade Center: he's sorted out the custody problems over two of his kids. Their mother, Debbie Rowe, had been demanding something - more access, or money, or just to let them see the sky for once in a while - and now she's not. According to Rowe's spokesperson:

"We're still dealing with the details but it addresses all of the disputes between the parties," said attorney Marta Almli, who represents Rowe. "I can't say anything about the terms of the settlement but I don't think it would have happened if both parties didn't agree it was appealing to both of them."

Almli refused to be drawn on if the settlement included any promise that kids could sometimes go outdoors properly, and not in a giant plastic bubble.

Luckily, the settlement was managed without the father having to be involved, otherwise it could have been really complicated.
