Jermaine's Child Support Plea -- I'm Broke, No Joke

9/26/2010 12:50 AM PDT by TMZ Staff

Jermaine Jackson claims he can't afford to pay child support because his business is failing and his career is in the tank -- in fact, according to new legal docs, MJ's bro can barely make ends meet.



Jermaine just filed new child support papers in L.A. County Superior Court -- obtained by TMZ -- grousing that he's expected to pay $3,000 a month in child support for sons Jaafar and Jermajesty ... even though his average monthly income for the last year has been under $1,100.

Jermaine is asking the judge to slash support payment to $215 a month.

According to the docs, Jermaine made a onetime appearance on "Big Brother" back in 2007, raking in a handsome $450,000 for his troubles -- but since then, Jermaine claims his business has floundered.

Jermaine claims his baby mama Alejandra not only earns more than him ... but she gets a free ride along with his kids at the Jackson compound, thanks to Katherine's generosity. Katherine has asked Alejandra to move her family into a nearly Jackson condo but Alejandra has refused and Katherine won't put her foot down.

2. He doesn't have Michael to live off of anymore.

To think I used to like this guy. What a creepy slimeball he's become.

3. The guy had almost half a mil three years ago...

...which most people could have lived off of, very well, for years.

At some point he'll realize he lacks business acumen or any kind of marketable talent and will stop trying to live like "a Jackson."

Those days are gone. The goose isn't laying any more golden eggs because the goose is dead. Jermain can no longer depend on Michael throwing a "mercy tour" of the Jacksons his way every few years to bail him out of whatever ridiculous mess he's gotten himself into.

You can't tell me that MJ cut him out of any inheritance.

5. well he has 6 kids

by three different women and $215/6 is $35.83 a month per child.

Can you say deadbeat dad? Shame on you Jermaine! :puke:

6. Maybe it should be upped to $10,000 a month

for inflicting "Jermajesty" on a kid.

Joe sure fucked up his family. They were beaten and bullied into sleek entertainment machines, knowing how to read or save for groceries was incidental. He's the one whose every stray penny should be garnished forever.
