Jermaine Jackson's Driver's License Taken Away Until He Settles Back Child Support

Former teen R&B hearthrob Jermaine Jackson is knee deep in child support woes. Reportedly, the crooner owes his ex so much in back child support payments that his driver's license has been confiscated.

According to TMZ, Jackson owes an astounding $91,921.55 for the two children he fathered with ex-wife, Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza (pictured above during happier times with Jackson). When the couple separated back in 2004, after a nine-year alleged marriage, Jackson discovered that Oaziaza had not gotten a divorce from her first husband so their union was annulled. Since then, the celeb couple has duked it out publicly over custody and finances.

Jackson was court-ordered to pay his ex $3,000 a month for his sons, Jaafar and Jermajesty. Back in September, Jackson cried the blues,to an L.A. County Superior Court judge and tried to have his monthly child support obligation cut to $215. He claimed, and still does, that his monthly income does not exceed $1,448 and that Oaziaza, who also has three children with his younger brother Randy, was better off financially.

Now Jackson's child support papers have been turned over to the L.A. County Child Support Services Department, and they are claiming that the entertainer has been negligent in informing them whether he works full or part-time. They also say that he was not forthcoming in providing further documentation of income sources, such as royalties or residuals. Now the Department has confiscated Jackson's driver's license until he satisfies his outstanding debt.

In the past, peeved off Oaziaza has argued that Jackson has lied about his income. Most notably, she claims, that Jackson still drives expensive vehicles like the blinged out Rolls-Royce paparazzi caught him cleaning at a do-it-yourself car wash earlier this year.

The miffed Mom also told the courts that Jackson still lives in the same Calabasas, Calif., mansion they shared as a couple. Oaziaza also pointed out that he received a $450,000 one-time payment for appearing on the reality show "Big Brother" back in 2007. Lastly, Jackson earned monies for co-starring with three of his legendary brothers last year on the A&E reality show "The Jacksons, A Family Dynasty."

Until Jackson can come up with the loot, though, his Rolls-Royce might just become a dust-catcher!
