LOS ANGELES , California ( CNN ) -- Michael Jackson 's father wants a judge to order the pop star 's estate to pay him a monthly allowance , according to papers filed in court Friday . Joe Jackson , the 80-year-old Jackson family patriarch , was not named in Michael Jackson 's 2002 will , which left his wealth to his mother , Katherine Jackson , his three children and undisclosed charities . Brian Oxman , Joe Jackson 's lawyer , filed the petition Friday asking for him to be included in the family allowance . The matter will be considered Tuesday when Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff convenes the next hearing on matters related to the probate of Jackson 's will , Oxman said . The filing does not publicly specify how much Jackson 's father is requesting . Howard Weitzman , one of the lawyers for the estate 's special administrators , said Joe Jackson 's request `` will be considered as are all requests for money from Michael 's estate . '' `` It was quite surprising to learn of the request , '' Weitzman said . Michael Jackson 's mother and his three children receive a court-ordered allowance from the estate totaling more than $ 86,000 a month , according to court documents . The money is in addition to the maintenance of the home -- which is owned by the estate -- in Encino , California , where Katherine Jackson lives with her grandchildren , the papers said . Although Joe and Katherine Jackson are still married , Joe Jackson lives in Las Vegas , Nevada . Joe Jackson is credited with launching and guiding his family 's show business success , but Michael Jackson had publicly criticized his father 's parenting skills . Tuesday 's hearing could also see a new challenge by the Jackson family of the 2002 will . Michael Jackson died June 25 , but the probate of his will has been slowed by a series of court squabbles between Katherine Jackson 's lawyers and the two men now in control of the estate . John Branca and John McClain , who are named as executors in the will , were appointed temporary special administrators to run the estate until the process is completed . Katherine Jackson replaced the lawyers representing her in the estate case last month with attorney Adam Streisand . Another Jackson family lawyer said the change was made because the case was about to take a `` new direction '' based on `` new evidence '' uncovered by the family . Attorney Londell McMillan pointed to questions about the authenticity of the signature on Michael Jackson 's will . Tuesday 's estate hearing will be Streisand 's first appearance in the case . A trial has been tentatively set for December to decide any challenge of the will , although Streisand said last month he expected it to be set for early next year . The A & E network announced Friday that `` The Jacksons : A Family Dynasty '' television series will launch with two hours of programming on Sunday night , December 13 . Four of Michael Jackson 's brothers -- all except Randy Jackson -- are involved in the show `` as they prepare for a Jackson Five reunion , while also coming to terms with Michael 's tragic loss , '' the network said . An A & E programming executive said the `` deeply intimate portrait will provide viewers with a raw and honest look inside a musical dynasty . ''
