LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge has scheduled a hearing to decide if Michael Jackson’s father should receive a monthly allowance of more than $15,000 from the pop star’s estate.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff said Thursday he would hold an evidentiary hearing on May 26 regarding Joe Jackson’s petition.

Michael Jackson had an often-strained relationship with his father. He omitted Joe Jackson from his will and trust, which benefits the singer’s mother, three children and various charities.

Joe Jackson sought the stipend in November, saying he had little monthly income. The administrators of the pop star’s estate have opposed the motion, and an attorney for Michael Jackson’s children says she has concerns as well.
