(Los Angeles, CA) -- Michael Jackson's father Joe wants the late singer's estate to help him cover his living expenses that exceed 20-thousand dollars a month. The "Los Angeles Times" reports that court documents filed Friday quote an attorney for Joe Jackson as saying the family patriarch is entitled to the "same manner" of support that the pop star's estate is already paying Jackson's mother. Katherine Jackson gets an allowance of 26-thousand dollars a month. Attorney Brian Oxman wrote in the L.A. Superior Court filing that Michael Jackson had paid his father's bills for decades. Oxman also claimed it was "improper" for the temporary administrators of the pop star's estate not to have sought an allowance for Joe last summer when they got the court's approval of Katherine's allowance.<
