Jermaine Jackson Stranded in West Africa

Jermaine Jackson is stuck in Africa. While taking a trip to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, Jackson realized that his passport expired, a situation that would normally be remedied by a trip to the U.S. embassy. But because Jackson owes almost $100,000 in child support, he is currently stranded on the other side of the world until he either pays up or is made a special exception from the government.

In May 2008, Jackson's baby's mom Alejandra Oaziaza filed a child support order against Jackson to pay $3,000 a month. As quickly as the order was filed, Jackson balked on the order, pushing his overall back payments to a staggering $91,921. In California, when someone owes more than $2,500, Child Services informs the FBI of the delinquency -- a situation that can freeze a passport renewal.

Jackson's passport will be renewed once he makes good on his debt, though the American Embassy has been known to make exceptions for U.S. citizens by issuing temporary papers in certain circumstances. In December 2010, Jackson's driver license was confiscated because he was unable to pay his child support payments. In September, he asked the judge to cut back his monthly sum from $3,000 to $215, as he was unable to afford the cost.

Let his sorry ass stay in Africa. he's got the money to go there and not support his kids. Let him stay. As for the baby's mama..she is a piece of work also..two kids by another brother and then bed down with Jermaine? That is just NASTY. Well news is Katherine has been trying to get the "mama" out of her house and now that the place is being renovated--she is out of there and word is ..she is not coming back. GOOD FOR KATHERINE. Maybe now EVERYBODY will get a damn job. I don't say not help out but come-on-now. katherine takes care of all those kids and then some..those grown leeches need to go suck on someone else!
