They Want $$$ Now!!!

Filed under: Legal Matters > Michael Jackson

No surprise here.

The attorneys handling Michael Jackson's estate went to court this morning to seek immediate financial allowances for Jackson's three kids and his mother, Katherine.

According to Paul Gordon Hoffman, an attorney representing the estate co-executors, a judge will consider the request on August 3rd.

Is momma Jackson really that strapped for cash?

well asshole you do the math, Michael supported his mother, he's been gone a month now. Moving kids into your life costs money. Signing up for schools cost money.

Not that you would know, but children between the ages of 7-12 have a lot of needs and she needs money to pay for them. This isn't greed, it's necessity.

Perez knock it off, probably needs it to send these kids to a very private and very secure school(s), which is not cheap, not to mention the security they will need to fend off dogs like you.

Exactly what does she do for a living? I would imagine that Michael supported her and with his money being tied up in probate she has zero income now.

i am the tree, in springtime i blossom, during summer, i'm green, in autumn i am in vivid colors, i refuse however to have black and white leaves in my tree, for it would disturd the harmony of my leaves and bring quarellings upon my leaves, i am the tree, and no one can question the paternity of my leaves, for i the tree am the father and my leaves are all my children.~~~~creation please google a "paler shade of black" and educate yourselfs, you ignorant souls! we are nothing but a speck of dust, nothing but mutants.

More like that fucking greedy. I seriously doubt those kids were going to any school before - I'm betting homeschool. I'm sure whoever was (if anyone was) working with them before would be happy to keep doing it, knowing the money will flow.

This step is pretty standard. Taking care of another's children should never be a burden (not that they really are any kind of a burden) if said money exists to be provided for that purpose.

Well, momma Jackson was spotted shopping at TARGET for SLEEPING BAGS, so yes, she has gotta be very strapped for cash. Looks like Michael wasn't feeding her an allowance all these years. I still always loved him though, and we don't really know. You know that Michael's always been a mystery to us, in life and now in death.

Let Janet Cough up some money. She is the 7th richest woman entertainer in the world with over $150,000,000 in cash and assets. Why does the family support always fall on Michael. No wonder he was broke. He was a human ATM for this family of deadbeats. JANET, TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOTHER AND MICHAEL'S CHILDREN. COUGH UP SOME DOUGH BITCH! Janet said her music is classy when asked about Madonna. BITCH! You're music is tired. You can't sing and that lousy whispery voice isn't hiding the fact that you can't sing. Get some new dance moves too.

Shame on the whole bunch! It should be all about those poor kids.

I DON'T GET IT. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH KATHERINE JACKSON ASKING FOR MONEY FROM THE ESTATE FOR LIVING EXPENSES. I AM A LAWYER AND I CAN INFORM YOU THAT THE REQUEST IS VALID AND STANDARD. KATHERINE WAS BORN MAY 4 1930 WHICH MAKES HER 79 YEARS OLD. SHE DOESN'T WORK AND RELIED ON MICHAEL'S FINANCIAL SUPPORT WHEN HE WAS ALIVE. WHY SHOULDN'T SHE BE STRAPPED FOR CASH? SHE IS ENTITLED TO 40% OF THE ESTATE AND THE CHILDREN ARE ENTITLED TO 40%. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT HER TO DO, GO OUT AND GET A JOB? IT WAS MICHAEL'S WISH THAT HIS MOTHER AND CHILDREN WERE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.

WTF? Why is this surprising to anyone? If I moved three more kids into my house, I'd need extra money too!! This is a very standard request when you take in someone's children. I took in my teenage niece a while back and you bet your ass, our expenses went through the roof.

for what she needs $ to hire a lawyer to contest his will. It is a shame that MJ was only one of her children who supported her … where a the rest? … Janet reaches out to you Mum… she need your help and when you are it - take the kids with you. You will be awesome guidance for them!

The poor woman only gets a small SS check! She can't afford to support these kids,without some help. Michael left the money to his kids,that's what it's for.

Re: juicycampus –

That's just what I said! She needs money to help support the kids! She's NOT doing this for herself,she's doing this for them!
Vettey says – reply to this

I don't think she is strapped for cash! But seeing that they are MJ children, and his estate is making money hand over fist, and his heirs aren't seeing any of it as of yet! What would you do?
DebDebs says – reply to this

Well I was right MJ was supporting Katherine, which is okay with me that's being a good son. If I was in Katherine's position I would have done more to help the person that was supporting me or guess what you end up living off of social security. Katherine better start kissing up to Janet now.
