Although lawyers on both sides claim that Rowe, the mother of Jackson's two eldest, had reached an agreement with the Jacksons to let Katherine retain custody of the kids while she was to get visitation and NO extra money, The NY Post is claiming that Debbie will in fact receive 4 million for signing the deal.

Jackson's ex-wife was reportedly receiving 1 million a year in an "informal" spousal support agreement between her and the king of pop, a payout that Michael's family apparently tried to put a stop to.

That's when Rowe started to make noise about challenging the Jacksons for custody.

"They just want to get rid of her. They recognized early in this process that she had no interest in playing a real role in their lives and that it was all about money," a source told the paper. So they decided to buy her off to the tune of 4 mill. BUT, "As part of the agreement, they have to say it's not about money."
