Joe Jackson claims there was "no justification" for him to be excluded from getting money from Michael Jackson's estate ... and now he's asking a judge to grant him a monthly allowance.
Joe just filed papers in L.A. County Superior Court, claiming he's "entitled to his own independent family allowance."
In the docs, Leonard Rowe -- a guy who claims to have been MJ's manager -- says Michael used to give his mother Katherine up to $60,000 a month to live on, and that Michael instructed her to give half of it to Joe.
Joe claims Michael's estate has "earned more than $100 million dollars in the first seven (7) weeks following Michael Jackson's death" and is "well able to afford a family allowance for Joe Jackson."
Joe says he has $15,425 in total monthly expenses, including the following:
-- $2,500 eating out
-- $2,000 for air travel
-- $3,000 for hotel bills
-- $1,000 for groceries
-- $1,200 for rent
-- $50 in charitable contributions
UPDATE -- Howard Weitzman, one of the attorneys the Special Administrators for Michael Jackson's Estate, tells TMZ: "The Special Administrators have been made aware that Joe Jackson filed papers asking to be paid a family allowance from the Estate. It was quite surprising to learn of the request. Mr. Jackson's Petition will be considered as are all requests for money from Michael's Estate."

It's called a will Joe. MJ left you nothing that means
you get nothing. Deal with it. Go back to Vegas and crawl
under a rock!!
OMFG! The way Joe manages money he'll go through all he can get his greedy hands on in no time!
MJ EXCLUDED THIS WANNABEE "SWINGER" FOR A REASON. GET A JOB YOU OLD BASTARD ! ALSO THE REST OF MJ'S BRO'S.
STOP USING MJ'S NAME TO FURTHER YOUR GREEDY ASS..SLOTH'S !!!!!
The justification . . His son did not wish to leave him anything. That is what a will is- This guy is a douche!
Best of LUCK with your allowance YOU DESERVE it.
RIP MJ
Love the Jackson's
Well it took him long enough to put his hand out, then agian Katherine has been handing him money and then claiming poverty
What's the matter Joe, your new gig not working out?
The entire Jackson family (yes even Katherine) sucked the life out of Michael. Joe is shamless, the world knows how Michael felt about him.
Karma Joe, KARMA.
I beat balls ,you beat balls,lets all beat balls,till there is no balls left!
Oh, nice profile photo, he looks like the creature from ALIEN. Give us a kiss so we can see your 400 teeth, ya slimeball! Maybe Micheal Jackson wouldn't have been so screwed up if Joe had been blasted with a laser rifle by Sigourney Weaver back around 1975! Give it a few more years and Weaver may have the use of time travel and Michael can start his career over again like some normal kind of kid.
Now this old coot has his hand out how long before the brothers start lining up
OMG... He can't really do that can he ??? If the judge grants that, would that be contesting the will ???
They were in it for the money:
Ha Ha and HA! Why do any of the family members NOT mentioned in the Will keep trying to buck the system? All they are doing is spending money foolishly. I swear, if this devil catfish man succeeds, which he won't, it will open the door wide open for the rest of the leeches to grab some of that cash. Devil Catfish knows good and well if Katherins goes before him, he ain't getting NOTHING! Same goes for those loser sons of her that have been leeching for all these years. WTF is this? Michael dies and they all think they won the Lottery? the ONLY money he could ever get if Katherine goes 1st is whatever she has left in a bank account which is being depleted as we speak. I bet the lawyers have tied her up as far as Joe goes, same for those sons of hers.
