. (AP) Joe Jackson doesn't plan to help raise Michael Jackson's three children. The Jackson family patriarch lives in Las Vegas and wrote in a statement filed in a Los Angeles court on Monday that he only occasionally visits the family home in the San Fernando Valley, north of downtown Los Angeles.

"I have had a close family relationship with these grandchildren since their birth," Jackson wrote in the declaration dated July 13.

"I do visit the family residence from time to time and will continue to do so, however I will not be involved in raising the children."
