He bought a $160,000 Ferrari last month, but Jermaine Jackson is having trouble making his $3,000-a-month child support payments for sons Jermajesty, 13, and Jaafar, 17, reports TMZ.
He's so behind — to the tally of $12,000, minus the $85 he's managed to fork over — that the L.A. County Child Support Services Department has filed documents requesting that a judge hold Jackson, 58, in contempt.
The potential penalty for that is 20 days at the L.A. County Jail.
Jackson has struggled in the past to provide for the boys, two of his eight children with three women.
The mom in this case is Alejandra Jackson, who also has two children with Jackson's brother Randy.
Jermaine, who's had his wages garnished as a result, paid up $80,000 in back support in March 2011, according to TMZ, and coughed up another $33,000 in delinquent payments this past May.
