Breaking: Joe Jackson Seeks Allowance from Michael Jackson's Estate at The Insider

Michael Jackson's Father Arrives at BET Awards

Michael Jackson's father is trying to obtain an allowance from the late singer's estate.

"The Insider" has obtained court documents filed by an attorney for Joe Jackson in Los Angeles on Friday, in which the 81-year-old is seeking an allowance from his son's estate.

The papers state that Jackson "has been without support since the death of his son…," and "is in urgent need [of] funds to maintain his household."

Jackson's attorney also says in the document: "For reasons which [were] never explained, [the special administrators of Michael Jackson's estate] excluded Joseph Jackson from their petition although they knew that Michael Jackson had supported for many decades his father….”

The papers also state that Joe Jackson suffered a stroke in 1998, was hospitalized in 2004 for stomach ulcers and "was dependent upon the money provided by his son, Michael Jackson, through his wife, Katherine Jackson, for his support."

The AP reports that a judge has approved $26,000 in monthly payments to his mother and $60,000 monthly for the care of his children -- "Prince" Michael, Paris and "Blanket."

Michael has 3 children,a mother who loved her so dearly. I believe that Kathrine should decide over her son's estate, After all she is the one taking care of Mi Jackson's children. Thembi.S Africa.

This may get deleted but oh well I have to say this. People talking about michael father wanted some of his money and they dont want him to have it, dam they didnt want his mother to have nothing and she is his mother the woman that gave live to him. They know dam well they did not want a black woman to have eighty million dollars, that kind of money is not for black people they wanted that white woman to have that money not the blacks. Mrs Jackson is blessed that white woman said of tv that she didnt want them kids and she had them kids for Michael because if she didnt his mother would'nt had gotten a dime. And for as them not wanted mr jackson to have anything they didnt want any of them black people to get a dime and they know Im tell the turth so help me god. I* fell mr jackson should have some of that money they wanted to give it all to the white woman and he is michael father.

I've never ever seen before such a crabbing man like his Dad. Shortly he was here in Germany and would like to have party at Oktoberfest, but nobody let him in, great!

Only his kids should have his money.

Michael loved his father and if he were alive I believe he would be helping him. When all is said and done their family was close and came together. MJ wouldn't want people attacking his father.

Evan Chandler, the father of 13 year-old Jordan Chandler who first accused MJ of molesting him in 1993, shoots himself in the head ending his paranoid delusions that MJ fans were after him. It was KARMA!

joe jackson is the impedomy of human waste. he was left out of the will for good reason. he has always been about the money and now he is digging his hand into his dead son's pocket. DISGUSTING does not even cover my true feeling.

Now I hear that Joe Is trying to get the people (John Brinca) who over sees Michael's estate fired. I'm not sure I've got everything exactly right but if this is true. How dare he? I am more convinced now it's all about the money. Poor Michael. Now we see what he had to go through.

- Now you see what Michael had to go through. You had family on one hand grabbing for everything they can get. Then you had these so call friends who were just using him. Like that nutcase Dr. Klein and all the others who used Michael addiction to help themselves.

Hey Insider let us have more room to write. Anyway They all want his money. I think that Diana Ross would have been a better choice for the kids also. MJs mother is too old to do that. Then they will get pass on down the line. And DR does not need the money.
