Missing Jackson divorce papers
March 28, 2006 - 1:25PM
A judge has ordered attorneys for Michael Jackson and ex-wife Debbie Rowe to submit copies of missing papers from the former couple's divorce file.
Superior Court Judge Robert Schnider has ordered Rowe's attorney, Marta Almli, to submit duplicate copies of Rowe's 2001 motion to terminate her parental rights to her two children with Jackson.
Jackson's attorneys, Michael Abrams and Thomas Hall, were ordered to submit a copy of the entertainer's opposition to the motion.
Jackson and Rowe divorced in 1999 after Rowe, citing irreconcilable differences, filed papers to end the marriage. A private judge oversaw the case.
"The way this file looks, it's clear to me that documents have come in an untimely fashion," Schnider said.
The missing documents must be submitted within 30 days, he said, and may be filed under seal. A hearing has been set for May 24.
Jackson and his children moved to Bahrain soon after a jury acquitted him of child molest charges last year. He recently closed the house on his 1,050-hectare Neverland Ranch estate in Santa Barbara County, California, and has reduced his staff there to just a skeleton crew.
