Jermaine Jackson Ex-Wife Seeks Alimony Increase on New Wife's Net Worth

mike white
Like me, I am sure you have heard crazy escapades in legal battles between spouses who air their dirty laundry in divorce court. The American appetite for such madness is so prodigious that we've made celebrities out of judges who listen to the lives of husbands and wives who want to leave their marriages behind in front of cameras. But what is going on right now between Michael Jackson's big brother, Jermaine and his estranged wife, Alejandra has to go down as the strangest case in divorce court history.

When Judge Mablean Ephraim was let go by the executives at Divorce Court and Lynn Toler was selected I doubt that the writers of the show could have even imagined concocting up a story as strange and greed-driven as the one playing out in the courts of California. There is an old cliché that women quote saying, 'what's his is mine, and what is mine is mine'. This possessive, controlling cliché seems to have extended to Alejandra Jackson as she has taken that cliché to another level with her recent filings asking not only for spousal support to be based on the earnings and net worth of her husband, fabled soul singer Jermaine Jackson. But that the court should also consider his new wife's wealth in the factoring.

I know your mouth dropped like mine did when I read it. Alejandra Jackson, who is currently in court suing for spousal support from her husband, former member of the 70s group, the Jackson 5, has asked a Civil Court judge to reward her alimony based on Jermaine Jackson's income, as well as the net worth and income of a woman he is married to.

Together less than nine years, Alejandra was involved with Jermaine's brother Randy while both couples lived at the Jackson compound Hayvenhurst. Sometime during that period Alejandra and Jermaine became an item which created a rift in the family. Less than a year after he separated from his girlfriend Margaret Maldonado, Alejandra and Jermaine took their relationship public. They had two children together, Jaffar and Jermajesty.

While the couple officially divorced in 2004, they continue to wage a heated battle as Jermaine has remarried and moved to the Middle East to be with his wife, Halima Rashid. According to legal documents, Alejandra wants the court to reward her increase in her alimony payments based on the fact that Jermaine's wife, Halima has a sizable net worth from external sources. Today, Jermaine runs Earthcare, an international Muslim relief organization that hosts charity events around the globe. Halima is the executive director of the relief agency and oversees all of the work the agency undertakes.

Jermaine was once one of the most recognized faces in the music industry. As the second lead behind Michael in the group the Jackson 5, Jermaine Jackson musical gifts were at their zenith. When creative differences between the Jackson 5 and Motown Records arose, Jermaine chose to remain at Motown while the group joined a competing label. Part of Jermaine's reasoning was based on his relationship and ultimate marriage to Hazel Gordy, the wife of Motown founder and music guru, Barry Gordy.

After the Jackson 5 debacle, Jermaine's solo career was filled with highs and lows. At times his work was well-received while other projects died on the production floor. It was until a recent appearance on the UK version of Big Brother that Jermaine saw his name in lights again. As the runner up on the show, Jermaine received a semi-revival in popularity. But nothing in comparison to the 70s when Jermaine and his brothers erupted out of his parents living room in Gary, IN.

With Alejandra's assertion that Jermaine can afford an increase in alimony because of Halima's wealth, the court will face an unprecedented decision. With Jermaine now a resident of Bahrain and his wife, a native of Afghanistan, there is a lot to consider. One thing is for certain, Alejandra, should not take the decision personal.

    she is such a lazy whore who had slept with two brothers with whom she had 4 funny looking spoilt without any manners brats. Living in Michael's house for 20 years doing an absolutely nothing what a tweet she is. The Jackson should kick her fat ass from the property a long time ago , I really don't understand why they can't do it!, this is their house not hers and she hasn't got any right to stay there. What a slut and MORON SHE IS!!! No wonder the brothers (Jermaine and Randy ) left this bitch! who would want her ? If I was a gyu I wouldn't want this gold digger event if she was a one woman in the world!!! Get a job slut!!

    POOR MICHAEL! THE MAN WAS A $$$ COW FOR EVERYONE! THE LORD PUT HIM TO REST. GOD BLESS HIM FOREVER!

  • Wait a Blankety Blank Minute1/13/2011

    Whoever wrote this article is straight up lying!
    Prior to his marriage to Halima Rashid in 2004, Miss thang admitted that she had not divorced her first husband(Not Randy) before hooking up with either brother. The judge ordered that she not recieve spousal support. However a family judge( probably wanting attention ) awarded her custody of the kids. Now that man should take Randy Jackson and a few other punks outside and open a can of Whoop Butt on All of ya'll! It seems that so called Jermaine was the only brutha to respect da man and divorce MS Hanky!

  • Jermaine gave too much money to richer relatives12/19/2010

    and Now he has nothing! He should have stopped the gravy train while he had money. Having Michael come to Baharian and live like he was actually a close relative was the dumbest thing evah!
    First Michael Ruins your contract with Motown( not to mention a long standing marriage) Then he takes two great producers from under you and tells you that you don't need them anyway. then he tell a shiek that he's gona produce your work so that the shiek drops you and later sues you! You need to get a grip, dump sister money bags and do something for yourself! I'm a living witness: Its hard but it feel wonderful!

    I don't consider Jermaine the Sick one, I consider any woman who considers an ex property of the first husband/wife to be the sick one! It is a nasty habbit of the younger generation fo women to steal boyfriends from their sisters and whine when the sister goes for the brother of said boyfriend: that's sick and trifiling!
    Jermaine should have kicked Randy's butt for not lettin the gilr go free! I would have!

    THE EX WIFE WAS STILL MARRIED WHEN SHE WAS MARRIED TO JERMAINE. SO 0SHE DONT ANYTHING. THEN SHE SIGN A THAT SHE WOULD NOT GO FOR SUPPORT

  • No Jermaine didn't do a lot of folks wrong!8/23/2010

    That's just an old line without facts to back it up! Folks need to admit that they just liked mistreating the man.
    I don't think the lady is gona get any money! Plain and simple, The courts has already asserted that she was still married to someone else when she married Jermaine. The marriage was annulled! She keeps going to court and the Judge keeps telling her that. I wonder what scheme she's gona try when Halima gets the kids because the afore mentioned funds.....

    The research on this story is a little off.

    I hope jermaine has found peace with the religion that he has found because jermaine has done a lot of people wrong and this must bother him. Just admit when you are wrong and treat every one as equals. PEASE OUT Baby I still love you.

    Alejandra is just a gold digging whore, with her funny looking children. Tell that B*tch to find somebody with money to take care of her "only lay on my back" lazy a*ss.
