A lawsuit filed by B.B. King’s children accusing the blues legend’s business manager of financial and welfare abuse has been dismissed by a Las Vegas judge.

B.B. King’s long-time manager Laverne Toney will remain in legal control of the 89-year-old’s affairs.

Three of B.B. King’s children claimed Laverne Toney was stealing money and neglecting the musician’s medical care.

The judge said investigations found no evidence of abuse or reason to take power of attorney from Laverne Toney.BB King children guardianship case

“Mr. King has counsel. I don’t have anything here that says he lacks capacity. He has some serious health issues. But he has counsel. If he feels like he’s being taken advantage of, he has remedies,” the Family Court Hearing Master, Jon Norheim said.

B.B. King, who suffers from diabetes and is currently in home-hospice care, did not attend.

The musician was forced to cancel the remainder of a tour last October when he fell ill during a show, and was later diagnosed with dehydration and exhaustion.

The judge’s ruling doesn’t prevent B.B. King’s children from returning to court to press their claim once all family members have been legally informed of the action.

“We lost the battle, but we haven’t lost the war,” his daughter Karen Williams vowed.

B.B. King’s eldest daughter Shirley King said the dispute had brought disrespect to her father’s name.

“I’m not too sure things are right. But my dad would never want this,” she said.

B.B. King is considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

Amy Nieman said Meadow Rain Walker’s mother, Rebecca Soteros, has been spending time with her daughter while receiving treatment for alcoholism and is currently sober.

She says the teenager is being cared for by a nanny who has helped raise Meadow Walker for roughly two years.

Paul Walker’s mother petitioned for a guardianship over her granddaughter but asked to dismiss it, citing Meadow Walker’s wishes.

Paul Walker died in November in a car crash.

Judge Mitchell Beckloff, who is overseeing the guardianship of Michael Jackson’s children, has ordered an inquiry into Paris Jackson’s wellbeing after she attempted to kill herself earlier this week.

Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff asked an investigator to look into the 15-year-old’s health and welfare.

A lawyer for Katherine Jackson, Paris’s grandmother, said he was “completely supportive” of the court order.

He declined to comment further on her current health status.

Judge Mitchell Beckloff issued a similar inquiry into the welfare of the Jackson children last year after Katherine Jackson, their guardian at the time, was out of communication with them for several days.

That led to TJ Jackson, Michael Jackson’s nephew, being appointed co-guardian to Paris, Prince and Blanket.

A lawyer for Michael Jackson’s estate said it would assist the guardians however necessary to help Paris.

“The estate will work with Paris’s guardians to provide whatever is required for her best interests,” Howard Weitzman said in a statement.

“We are totally and completely supportive of Paris as her wellbeing is our foremost concern.”

Judge Mitchell Beckloff’s order requires an investigator to prepare a report that only the judge will be allowed to review.

He did not include instructions on how the review should occur or when the report was due.

Authorities were dispatched to the Jackson family home on Thursday in response to a report of a possible overdose.

Lawyer Perry Sanders said Paris Jackson was “physically fine” and was getting “appropriate medical attention”.

Debbie Rowe, the mother of Michael Jackson’s two older children, Prince and Paris, has warned she will demand custody if the civil war in the Jackson family isn’t resolved.

Up until now, Debbie Rowe has been happy to remain on the sidelines and allow Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine, to raise her children.

But sources close to the family said Debbie Rowe has become increasingly concerned about how the turmoil in the family is affecting Prince, 15 and 14-year-old Paris.

Now Debbie Rowe has filed legal papers at Los Angeles Superior Court backing a new guardianship deal reached between Katherine Jackson, 82, and her grandson TJ, 34, to share parenting responsibilities for Michael’s three children, including Blanket, 10, whose biological mother has never been identified.

But in the documents, the 53-year-old former dermatology nurse warns: “Should the arrangement sought by TJ Jackson and Katherine Jackson become untenable, unstable, unsafe, or in any way contrary to the best interests of the children, Ms. Rowe will seek court intervention.”

The stay-away mother claims her concern is for the health, safety and well-being of her children; and says she will continue to ensure their needs are met.

Debbie Rowe is said to have strong feelings that the children should not be put into the care of the Jackson siblings who became embroiled in a bitter feud over the way Michael’s children and his affairs have been handled in the wake of his 2009 death.

Last month, Janet, Jermaine, Rebbie and Randy Jackson took Katherine away to a spa in Arizona and kept her incommunicado from her grandchildren because they claimed she was becoming ill from the stress of handling the multi-million pound estate.

The bizarre family coup resulted in Paris and Prince, both worried about their guardian’s whereabouts, launching scathing attacks on their Twitter accounts.

Katherine Jackson and the three children were the sole beneficiaries in Michael’s will.

Debbie Rowe, a longtime Michael Jackson fan, offered to bear the star’s children following the collapse of his marriage to Lisa Marie Presley in 1996.

Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe married that year in Australia and three months later she gave birth to their first son, Prince.

Paris was born the following year, but the unlikely couple divorced in 1999 and Michael Jackson took full responsibility for raising the children.

Debbie Rowe reportedly received a $9.5 million settlement and a house in Beverly Hills, California, in return for effectively handing over her rights as a mother.

In August 2009 – two months after Michael Jackson’s sudden death – Debbie Rowe reached a custody settlement with Katherine Jackson under which she was allowed supervised visits with the children.

Debbie Rowe is said to have been monitoring the unrest in the Jackson family closely and agreed to sign off on the new joint parenting deal at the request of the judge overseeing the case.

Diana Ross, named as a back-up guardian for his children in Michael Jackson’s will, also agreed to the terms of the new arrangement.
