Jermaine Jackson will not be able to get out of Africa any time soon because his passport has expired and current legal woes means he may not be able to get a new one.Jermaine owes thousands of dollars in back child support and until he pays up - he won't be issued a new passport.
The singer is currently in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso in West Africa and will be waylaid there for a until he is able to find a solution to get him home.
The mother of two of Jermaine's children got a child support order back in May 2008, which required him to pay her $3,000 a month.
According to TMZ, the 56-year-old went into arrears almost from the start and now owes Alejandra Oaziaza, $91,921.
California law states that if a person owes more than $2,500 in back child support the State Department of Child Support Services automatically informs the FBI.
The Feds then flag the delinquent parent's passport and once it expires, it can't be renewed until the person catches up on their payments.
As Jermaine's passport expired during his trip, he will not be able to fly home until he pays the amount in full - unless the American Embassy helps him out and issues him a temporary passport so he can return to America.
