LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson's father is seeking an allowance from his son's estate to help cover expenses that exceed $15,000 a month, according to court documents filed Friday.
The request seeking an unspecified amount for Joe Jackson was filed by lawyer Brian Oxman, who said there was no apparent reason for the administrators of the estate to not seek an allowance for the 81-year-old Jackson family patriarch.
Michael Jackson's 2002 will, however, only called for money to be paid to his mother, Katherine, his three young children, and various charities.
A judge has approved more than $26,000 in payments to Katherine Jackson each month, and a $60,000 monthly payment for the care of the children.
The latest court documents say Joe Jackson receives a $1,700 monthly Social Security payment and had relied on his son for support for many years.
Joe Jackson sufferers from diabetes and had a stroke in 1998, the filing states.
"He does not have a regular or steady source of income, and he was dependent upon the money provided by his son, Michael Jackson, through his wife, Katherine Jackson, for his support," the filing states.
An itemized list of expenses says Joe Jackson spends $1,200 a month on rent for his Las Vegas home; $2,500 to eat out; $1,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacations; $2,000 on air travel and $3,000 on hotels.
A phone message left for Oxman was not immediately returned.
James Bates, a spokesman for the administrators of Jackson's estate, did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment.
A judge denied Joe Jackson's petition for an expedited hearing on the matter and his request to file the motion under seal.

Ah, so the truth comes out here. Michael was supporting him. But did Michael KNOW he was supporting Joe? The money for Joe came through Katherine when Michael was alive?

that's why Katherine should not gain more control over the estate...the money go through her to other family members
-- $2,500 eating out
-- $2,000 in air travel
-- $3,000 in hotel bills
-- $1,000 in groceries
-- $1,200 in rent

so this means its over? whats an expedited hearing cause google aint helping unless its about child support in the midwest!
So basically an emergency motion...http://www.txnb.uscourts.gov/ecf/manual/motion_for_expedited_hearing_(bk).htm
The following terms are all used to describe the same procedure and event: motion for expedited hearing, emergency motion, and motion to expedite.

Attorneys may request that a motion be heard expeditiously by filing a Motion For Setting and Request for Expedited Hearing and using Form BTXN 146 located under the Forms section on the court's website. A proposed order may also be generated. A hearing date cannot be issued until the motion has been reviewed by the Court.

Yup. He knew his family well. That's why he put the money in a "trust," instead of giving it directly to Katherine. They'd have ripped her apart. God only knows what's going on behind-the-scenes at Hayvenhurst now. . .
whats next... Joe's gonna move back in at Hayvenhurst citing his inability to pay for his expenses?
I first thing I read when getting online this afternoon is news about Debbie Rowe going to court, saying she hasn't seen her kids in four months even though it has been agreed she can visit them. Also stating, Prince, Paris, and Blanket shouldn't be in that house at all (Hayvenhurst), because all they talk about is money and they don't want to kids to grow up to be like Jackson's or whatever....
Now I'm hearing about Joe Jackson sueing Michael's estate. Damn, Michael Jackson is STILL recieving law suits, isn't he?
There is so much drama!! I'm glad Michael never caused any drama. He really didn't, it was always people making drama AROUND him.
And this is why I have no doubt that the will is authentic. Michael KNEW what would happen in the event of his death. Come to think of it.... didn't Katherine request more money to pay utilities at Hayvenhurst? Maybe she's too busy supporting grown sons, a daughter and her husband and have nothing left to pay the bills?
Pffffffft
Sadly, that is entirely possible. He and Katherine are still married. That house is already stuffed full of people!
I guess what I'm not understanding is why that family didn't band together after it was obvious Michael had a solo career, and start a business? A recording label, invest in real-estate, or SOMETHING? At one point a whole LOT of money passed through their hands. .. .
