Being a big Michael Jackson fan you can imagine my frustration when I received this information from the associated press. It would appear that even after the death of his son that Jo Jackson is still trying to get paid.

It has been reported that Joe Jackson is saying that he has living expenses exceeding $20,000 a month. His attorney says the family patriarch doesn’t have a regular income and was dependent on his son’s money.

I know this may be redundant for me to say it again, however I am still sitting here in shock reading the press release. Joe Jackson filed papers Friday stating that he wants Michael Jackson’s estate to pay his living expenses.

Keep in mind that Michael Jackson’s estate is currently paying his mothers monthly allowance of $26,000. According to Joe’s attorney he feels that as the family patriarch that he is entitled to the same type of support. Joe’s attorney is saying that Michael Jackson had been taking care of is father’s bills for decades and there is no legal reason why he shouldn’t continue.

It has been made crystal clear that Joe Jackson doesn’t have a regular or steady source of income, and he was dependent upon the money given to him from Michael Jackson via his wife Katherine Jackson.

According to Brian Oxman Joe’s attorney, he feels that it is improper for the temporary administrators of the estate not to have sought an allowance for Jackson’s father when they secured court approval of Katherine Jackson’s allowance.

It is no big secret that Michael Jackson was very close to his mother but had a rocky relationship with his father, whom he accused of hitting him and his brothers as children.

Michael Jackson named his mother as guardian of his three children and a beneficiary of a family trust set up by his will but left nothing to his father, who lives in a Las Vegas rental property far from the family’s Encino compound.

Although the filings did not specifically list the total amount of compensation that Joe Jackson was seeking. It did however include a monthly budget of more than $15,000 in expenses, including $1,500 for rent, $2,500 for eating out and $5,000 for hotels and air travel.

The judge denied Joe’s recent request for an immediate hearing.
