Joe Jackson, the father of Michael Jackson, is  petitioning the estate of Michael  for a monthly stipend. Joe says the only income he has is his $1,700 monthly Social Security check.

Joe claims he relied on his famous and wealthy son for support. He said Michael would give the money to his mother Katherine who would then give it to Joe.

Joe was not mentioned in MJ’s will, he split his estate among his mother, children and various charities.

“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 stated.

“It was quite surprising to learn of the request,” Howard Weitzman, an attorney for the administrators of Jackson’s estate, said in a statement. “Mr. Jackson’s petition will be considered as are all requests for money from Michael’s estate.”

According to sources, Joe’s itemized monthly expenses included:

$1,200 a month in rent for his Vegas home
$2,500 to eat out
$1,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacations;
$2,000 on air travel
$3,000 on hotels.

Joe may have to cut back on some of that spending since a judge denied his request for an expedited hearing.

We hope the court pays Joe nothing!
