A judge today delayed a hearing on a lawsuit by one of Michael Jackson's brothers—who wants a paternity case default judgment obtained by his former wife set aside—pending a determination of whether the dispute is a civil or family law issue.

Randy Jackson, 50, filed the suit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Jan. 18 against Alejandra Jackson, who also was once married to another of his siblings, Jermaine Jackson. According to the suit, Alejandra Jackson filed a paternity case against Randy Jackson in August 1989 concerning their daughter, Genevieve Jackson. She maintains he was served with the petition, but he denies she did so, the complaint stated.

Alejandra Jackson obtained a default judgment against Randy Jackson in December 1990 with a finding that he was the girl's father and a child support order of $1,200 a month, according the suit. Randy Jackson did not learn of the judgment until July 2008, when county child support officials tried to levy his bank account, the suit said.

Alejandra Jackson's attorney, Elizabeth Bell, today told Judge Alan Rosenfield that the identical issues are pending in the original family law court case. Today's hearing—in which Rosenfield was scheduled to set dates for future hearings—was postponed by the judge until Jan. 25 so that a supervising judge can determine whether the case should be in civil or family law court. Bell said outside the courtroom that she and her client prefer to have the case heard in family law court. She declined to talk about Randy Jackson's allegations.

Randy Jackson was not present, nor was an attorney on his behalf. Randy Jackson maintains that in place of child support, he and his former wife agreed in October 1993 that he would provide her, Genevieve and her son, Stephen Randall Jackson Jr., with free room and board at the Jackson family's Encino compound until they reached age 18, the suit states. Genevieve Jackson is now 22 and her brother is 19.

Alejandra Jackson said she did not want to go to court and was satisfied with the financial arrangements given her and her children, according to the suit. The 1993 agreement was lost for several years, but was finally found in September 2009 by one of Randy Jackson's attorneys, the suit stated.

A demand for acknowledgement and satisfaction of judgment was served on Alejandra Jackson, but she did not accept it and continued living in the Jackson family home for 19 years with her children ``like kings and queens'' until last March, according to the complaint. Randy Jackson—whose full name is Steven Randall Jackson—alleges his former wife deliberately failed to tell him about the default judgment so he would not have a chance to defend himself against it. He says more than $5,000 has already been taken from his bank account in satisfaction of the default judgment.

Randy says he would provide her free room and board at Hayvenhurst until the kids were 18? I didn't know Randy paid the bills there! pfffft
 
So is this dispute the reason why Randy's not in the Unity Tour?
 
No .. that wouldnt be the reason. He only has to be present at the actual court date. It's not goign to be a long drawn out proceeding. It will only take a day most likely once the date is set. Its just a paternity case judgement he wants stopped untill they can decide which court it should be heard in. A civil court or Family court. The hearing to decide that is postponed until Jan25 and then once that is taken care of they will make a date for the actual hearing.

Randy has not been involved in any of the brothers activities. Even the Jackson Dynasty show. In fact they dont even mention him at all in their interviews. Its like he doesnt exist. It's very odd... Plus I believe he has some health issues. he has already had a heart attack and was hospitalzed for a 2nd heart attack in June 2010. So he may not be able to do the physical activity of a tour.
 
Apparently according to Jodi Gomes (producer of Jackson Dynasty show) Randy was going to be a part of the Unity tour but backed out. She didn't say why. I am curious too as to why he is no longer taking part.

Actually i read that marlon mentioned him in a radio interview, sorry can't remember which one. He was asked about him by the dj and just said he had decided not to join in but that the door was always open if he changed his mind. Yes, i was beginning to think he had been 'trotsky-ed' out of the family!

What i don't understand is that it could only possibly be an informal arrangement randy had with alejandra. Having a 3rd party pay someone else's child support when there doesn't seem any documentary evidence of an agreement from that 3rd party (mj) to take on this 18yr long responsibility just has no basis in law. Randy was wrong to offer it and alejandra was wrong to accept it although she did the right thing in not formally acknowledging this dubious 'agreement'.
 
Wasn't Brian (The A$$HAT) Oxman the one that came up with the agreement???

hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm???
 
Well that a longer wait for her to get free money in her hand. I beileve this is going civil. She waited to long to file for her daughter and should of been filing when she was filing with Jermaine. I also dont know why her son Steven Randall Jr is not included in this . There is still time to file for him. If she files for him then it can go to family court.

A judge Monday once again postponed a hearing on a lawsuit brought by one of Michael Jackson&#8217;s brothers &#8212; who wants a paternity case default judgment obtained by his former wife set aside &#8212; pending a determination of whether the dispute is a civil or family law issue.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Alan Rosenfield similarly delayed taking any actions in the case during the last court session on May 24, also because he was unsure whether he or another judge should hear Randy Jackson&#8217;s case against ex-spouse Alejandra Jackson.

Rosenfield set another hearing for Aug. 2 and ordered the plaintiff&#8217;s lawyer, Bret Lewis, to file papers directly with Judge Carolyn Kuhl, the civil court presiding judge, so she can make a final decision.

Randy Jackson, 50, filed the suit on Jan. 18 against Alejandra Jackson, who also was once married to another of his siblings, Jermaine Jackson.
According to the suit, Alejandra Jackson filed a paternity case against Randy Jackson in August 1989 concerning their daughter, Genevieve Jackson. She maintains he was served with the petition, which he denies, according to the complaint.

Alejandra Jackson obtained a default judgment against Randy Jackson in December 1990 with a finding that he was the girl&#8217;s father and a child support order of $1,200 a month, according to the suit, which says Randy Jackson did not learn of the judgment until county child support officials tried to levy his bank account in July 2008.

Alejandra Jackson&#8217;s attorney, Elizabeth Bell, told Rosenfield Monday that the identical issues are pending in the original family law court case.

However, Randy Jackson&#8217;s lawyer said his client has a right to file an independent action in a regular civil court.

Randy Jackson maintains that in place of child support, he and his former wife agreed in October 1993 that he would provide her, Genevieve and her son, Stephen Randall Jackson Jr., with free room and board at the Jackson family&#8217;s Encino compound until they reached age 18, according to the suit.

Genevieve Jackson is now 22 and her brother is 19.
Alejandra Jackson said she did not want to go to court and was satisfied with the financial arrangements given her and her children, according to her ex-husband&#8217;s court papers.

The 1993 agreement was lost for several years, but was located in September 2009 by one of Randy Jackson&#8217;s attorneys, the suit states.

A demand for acknowledgment and satisfaction of judgment was served on Alejandra Jackson, but she did not accept it and continued living in the Jackson family home for 19 years with her children &#8220;like kings and queens&#8221; until last March, according to the complaint.

Randy Jackson &#8212; whose full name is Steven Randall Jackson (not to be confused with the &#8220;American Idol&#8221; judge with the same name) &#8212; alleges his former wife deliberately failed to tell him about the default judgment so he would not have a chance to defend himself against it. He says more than $5,000 has already been taken from his bank account in satisfaction of the default judgment.

A judge today again postponed a hearing on a lawsuit brought by one of Michael Jackson's brothers -- who wants a paternity case default judgment obtained by his former wife set aside -- pending a determination of whether the dispute is a civil or family law issue.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Alan Rosenfield similarly delayed taking any actions in the case during the last court session on May 24 and again on June 25 because he was unsure whether he or a family law judge should hear Randy Jackson's case against ex-spouse Alejandra Jackson. Rosenfield is awaiting a determination from civil court presiding Judge Carolyn Kuhl. He set another hearing for Aug. 21.

Meanwhile, Alejandra Jackson's lawyer, Elizabeth Bell, said she would ask Kuhl for a ruling before the next hearing. Randy Jackson's attorney, Bret Lewis, maintains the civil action is a separate case from the family law matter and asked Rosenfield to set a trial date, but he declined. Bell maintains that the identical issues are pending in the original family law court case and that the latter judge should hear the entire dispute.

Another example of how they view Michael's things and money as their own.
 
^ Yes, it just seems instinctive. I remember when jermaine was telling the media that alexandra was moving out of havenhurst, he mentioned that she had been offered one of our family condos, when of course this was the condo that mj bought back in the early 80s with his money from his solo career. If neverland hadn't been run by colony capital i'm sure it would be jam packed with family today.
 
Oh we heard about this when we had the thread on Alejandra. Basically Randy told her she could stay at a home which Michael's money paid for. Michael bought the food, paid the utilities, and the bills. Alejandra used to get money from Katherine at times, and we all know where Katherine got her money from. Basically, Michael paid for Alejandra and her children, not Steven, so essentially he never paid child support, and needs to pay it now.

By his thinking you see what type of person he is. Then, we have the statement about how they were "living like kings and queens." Of course, what is not stated is that Michael's money paid for the royal treatment, not money from Randy or Jermaine. Then they brag about how they offered her a condo and 80,000, and we find out the condo belongs to Michael, and the money came from Michael. When will Michael stop paying!!!!!!! That is what I want to know.

Now we see one of the reasons Randy needs money desperately. Unfortunately they had to put "Michael's brother" in the article.
 
I'm disgusted by pretty much all of them! If Randy was not "Michael Jackson's brother" and just your average deadbeat dad, he'd be in PRISON by now... *smh*
 
^^True. He thinks he's untouchable, but sooner or later he will have to face the music.
