Jermaine Jackson pleads poverty in child support case
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 27 September 2010
Jermaine Jackson last week filed papers with the LA courts to say he simply can’t afford the three grand a month child support he is meant to pay his ex-wife. Presenting papers to prove he is basically broke, he’s asked for his monthly commitments to be cut to just $215.
Jackson argues that his ex, Alejandra, earns more money that he does, plus she and the couple’s two sons Jaafar and Jermajesty live rent free at Katherine Jackson’s home. Despite living with Jermaine’s mother, Alejandra sued her ex last year claiming he owed her $35,550 in child support.
According to TMZ.com, the legal papers show that while the makers of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ here in the UK paid the singer $450,000 to appear on the show in 2007, it didn’t lead to any new work, and he has earned very little since.
