LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

A hearing related to the custody of Michael Jackson’s children, which had been set for Monday, has been postponed, the Los Angeles Superior Court announced on Friday.

The hearing will now take place one week later on July 20.

The court date was moved at the request of Katherine Jackson, Michael’s mother and temporary guardian of the children, and Debbie Rowe, the biological mother of Prince Michael I, 12, and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11.

Katherine will continue on as guardian of the minors in the meantime.

“We are pleased that the child custody hearing has been continued over until July 20th to further our progress and allow us to privately and amicably resolve this most important matter in a dignified manner for the benefit of the children first and all involved,” a legal rep for Katharine said in a statement to Access Hollywood.

It is unknown if Debbie plans to seek custody of the children.
