A Los Angeles County Superior Court spokesman says the hearing over guardianship of the late pop star Michael Jackson's children has been delayed a third time.

The unidentified spokesman confirmed Friday the hearing scheduled for Monday has now been delayed until Aug. 3, CNN reported.

Jackson named his mother Katherine as the guardian of his three children, Prince Michael, 12; Paris, 11; and Prince Michael II, 7, in his will.

Debbie Rowe, the mother of Jackson's two oldest children, has not confirmed if she will attempt to gain custody or visitation rights from Jackson's 79-year-old mother.

An unidentified attorney representing Rowe has rejected rumors this week that the woman was offering to skip a custody challenge in return for money from Jackson's family.

A Jackson family lawyer, whose identity was not reported, told CNN that Lowe and Katherine Jackson have been attempting to resolve the custody issue since Michael Jackson's death on June 25.
