Jermaine Jackson is often photographed on vacation with his current wife Halima Rashid in Dubai or some other far flung exotic destination. He lives in a posh mansion in San Fernando Valley with his wife — and they own several luxury vehicles — yet he can’t afford to pay his child support bills because he claims he’s broke.

According to the Daily Mail, Jackson, 56, was back in a California courtroom yesterday to explain why he’s behind on $100,000 in child support for his two sons with ex-wife Alejandra Jackson.

The judge lowered his past due payments slightly and ordered Jackson to pay $80,000 in past due child support for his sons Jaafar and Jermajesty Jackson.

Alejandra Jackson (pictured above) is just as sorry as her baby daddy. She refuses to leave the Jackson compound in Encino, California where the Jackson 5 grew up after leaving Gary, Indiana in the 70s.

Jackson, who converted to Islam in 1989, complains that he shouldn’t have to pay child support because Alejandra has lived at his family’s Hayvenhurst estate for 20 years without paying a single bill.

But Katherine Jackson, 81, who has custody of the late Michael Jackson’s 3 kids, wants Alejandra gone. Katherine took Paris, Prince Michael and Blanket, and moved out while the mansion was under renovations. But Alejandra stayed put with her four sons — two with Jermaine and two with his younger brother Randy — despite the fact that the Estate’s attorney Howard Weitzman changed the locks and removed the food from the home.

Jermaine’s California driver’s license was recently revoked, but it will be reinstated if he makes a minimum payment of $5,000 on April 4. But Jackson claims he is destitute and can’t afford to pay a penny even though he earned hundreds of thousands of dollars appearing in two reality TV shows.

Meanwhile, Michael Jackson’s beautiful children are growing up quickly in front of our eyes! The paparazzi spotted Paris, 12, and 9-year-old Prince Michael II, aka Blanket, on a shopping excursion to a toy store with their auntie LaToya Jackson in Beverly Hills yesterday. Cute!
