The Jacksons Planning to Divorce after Five Years of Estrangement

After 60 long years of marriage, Michael Jackson's parents announced that they would be getting divorced.  Katherine Jackson is allegedly tired of her husband Joe's cruel behavior.

Five years ago, the couple became estranged and Katherine reportedly decided to file for divorce after 81-year-old Joe suggested that she was to blame for Michael's death.

Joe Jackson, who was accused of abusing Michael while he was a child, said in June, "I baked her to go over and stay with him, but she insisted he needed his privacy."  The couple started living separately five years ago. 

Katherine currently has child custody of Michael's children Prince, Paris and Blanket.  She resides in the family's Encino mansion while Joe Jackson lives in Las Vegas.
