Katherine JacksonApparently Katherine Jackson, the mother of Michael Jackson, can’t afford to live on her current estate allowance of more than $26,000.

Jackson has petitioned the court as of yesterday, asking that the judge increase the amount of money she receives from her deceased son’s estate.

The judge noted:

“Counsel will give notice of proposed action re: adjustment to family allowance for the benefit of Katherine Jackson.”

Currently Jackson’s exact temporary allowance is set at $26,804.

It should be noted that the money Katherine receives is just from the estate, she reportedly makes a ton of other money from side projects.

It’s amazing that a one time poor family can’t survive for one month on more than many families make in this country in an entire one year period.
