"&lt;strong&gt;Jermaine Jackson&lt;/strong&gt; claims he can't afford to pay child support because his business is failing and his career is in the tank -- in fact, according to new legal docs, MJ's bro can barely make ends meet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0924_jermaine_jackson_EX_TMZ_01\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/09/24/0924-jermaine-jackson-ex-tmz-01-credit.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jermaine just filed new child support papers in L.A. County Superior Court -- obtained by TMZ -- grousing that he's expected to pay $3,000 a month in child support for sons &lt;strong&gt;Jaafar &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Jermajesty &lt;/strong&gt;... even though his average monthly income for the last year has been under $1,100.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jermaine is asking the judge to slash support payment to $215 a month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the docs, Jermaine made a onetime appearance on \"&lt;strong&gt;Big Brother&lt;/strong&gt;\" back in 2007, raking in a handsome $450,000 for his troubles -- but since then, Jermaine claims his business has floundered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jermaine claims his baby mama &lt;strong&gt;Alejandra &lt;/strong&gt;not only earns more than him ... but she gets a free ride along with his kids at the Jackson compound, thanks to &lt;strong&gt;Katherine&lt;/strong&gt;'s generosity.&amp;#160;Katherine has asked Alejandra to move her family into a nearby Jackson condo but Alejandra has refused and Katherine won't put her foot down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
