Speaking out in the ever-changing custody case surrounding Michael Jackson's children, mother Debbie Rowe is declaring that she is out for her kids.
"I want my children," Rowe tells NBCLA reporter Chuck Henry, adding that she'd be willing to undergo any test necessary -- including DNA and psychological -- to win custody of the late King of Pop's three children.

Michael Jackson's mother Katherine has been named the temporary guardian of the children.
Rowe, the biological mother of two of the children, says she's planning on seeking a restraining order against father Joe Jackson. "I am stepping up. I have to," Rowe said.
She's fighting to get custody of the three children left behind by Jackson: Michael Joseph Jr. (12), Paris Michael Katherine (11) and Prince Michael II (7). Prince Michael II was born to an unidentified surrogate mother.
Roe said during the interview that she doesn't want to split the children up, and though she doesn't expect to gain custody of Prince Michael II since he's not her biological child, she'd be willing to accept custody of him.
Rowe surrendered her parental rights during her divorce from Jackson in 1999. They were married for three years.
In Jackson's 2002 will, he requested that his mother be named guardian of the children, and also specifically states that Rowe should not get any inheritance. "I have intentionally omitted to provide for my former wife, Deborah Jean Rowe Jackson," Jackson's will states.
