Debbie Rowe, the ex-wife of Michael Jackson, said she would fight for custody of the two children she had with the late pop icon.



Ms Rowe is the mother of 12-year-old Prince Michael, and 11-year-old Paris Michael Katherine.



A third child, seven-year-old Prince Michael the second has a surrogate mother.



Jackson\'s mother has been given temporary custody of the children.



Jackson, 50, died after suffering heart failure at his Los Angeles home a week ago.



Ms Rowe reportedly told NBC TV that she was prepared to undergo DNA testing to prove that she was the children\'s biological mother.



She said she would also seek a restraining order to keep Jackson\'s father, Joe, away from the children.
