STORY: She’s Back In! Judge Grants Guardianship To Katherine Jackson
As reported by TMZ:
TJ was awarded temporary co-guardianship of Prince, Paris, and Blanket along with Katherine … but that was made permanent today.
TJ has received enormous support from the Jackson family to take a guardianship role, including from Katherine herself … as well as MJ’s kids. TJ has been a father figure to the children for years.
The judge told TJ in court to be mindful of the giant rift currently tearing apart the Jackson family — and asked TJ to make sure the children aren’t negatively affected.
TJ and Katherine will split the parenting responsibilities and do many of the day-to-day tasks involved in taking care of the children.
