Her claims would be stronger if she had asked for custody when the kids were born.
Absolutely. She's quite a flake herself. She married Jacko in order to bear him kids in exchange for money and she pretty much abandoned the kids once they were born. Just now she's starting to realize that Jacko maybe isn't the best parent? Frankly these poor kids should be placed up for adoption and given to a nice, stable, non-famous family. Neither Debbie, nor Jacko, nor anyone else in the screwed up Jackson family ought to have custody.
