Jermaine Jackson Stuck In Africa As U.S. Denies Him Access

It's true...Jermaine Jackson is officially stranded in Africa due to non payment of child support.

WHAT?! Oh yeah...

Jackson took a trip to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso and just when he was scheduled to come home, he realized that his passport was expired.

While situations like this can be easily fixed with a trip to the U.S. embassy, this was not the case as Jackson owed more than $100,000 in child support and will be denied access back into the U.S. unless he takes care of the payment or if he is made a special exception from the government (via Popeater).

According to Popeater, in May of 2008, Jackson's baby's mom Alejandra Oaziaza filed a child support order against Jackson to pay $3,000 a month. As soon as the order was filed, Jackson continued to ignore it leaving it at a balance of $91,921.

Popeater states that un California, when someone owes more than $2,500, Child Services informs the FBI of the delinquency -- a situation that can freeze a passport renewal. This can all go away for Jackson as he pays off his debt or if the American Embassy makes a special exception by issuing temporary papers.

In December 2010, Jackson's driver license was confiscated because he was unable to pay his child support payments. Then in September, he asked the judge to cut back his monthly sum from $3,000 to $215, as he was unable to afford the cost.
