REUTERSLooks like Debbie Rowe and Katherine Jackson's lawyers are doing everything in their power to keep their clients from having to share a courtroom.
A custody hearing related to the care of Michael Jackson's three children has been postponed yet again, this time to Aug. 3. His mother will remain the kids' temporary guardian in the meantime.
When announcing that there wouldn't be a court date this past Monday, either, Katherine's attorney, L. Londell McMillan, said they and Rowe's camp were hoping the extra time would allow them "to privately and amicably resolve this most important matter in a dignified manner for the benefit of the children first and all involved."
Rowe's side has remained mum—except to deny stories that the mother of Jackson's two eldest kids had settled for another big, fat payday in exchange for any custodial rights—but the repeated docket-ducking has prompted all sorts of speculation as to just what an amicable resolution in this case might entail.
Amid reports that the two sides are nearing a resolution...here's hoping it harbors aspects of amicability when it arrives.
Also scheduled for Aug. 3 is a hearing on the King of Pop's estate, which he left under the executorship of attorney John Branca and music exec John McClain in a 2002 will.
A judge shot down Katherine's attempt to continue on as a special administrator last week.
