LOS ANGELES (AP) — Court records show Michael Jackson's father is seeking an allowance from his son's estate.
An attorney for Joe Jackson filed papers in Los Angeles on Friday seeking a stipend, saying there was no apparent reason for the administrators of the estate to not seek an allowance for the 81-year-old 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.

"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." What, $86K/month isn't enough for them? Every time we get through one day without hearing mention of MJ in some shape, form, or fashion, one of the clan does something to bring it back up again. ENOUGH, already!!

You've got to be kidding. I hope he does'nt receive a cent. MJ stated in his wil who he wanted his money to go to; his mom and kids.
