A lawyer representing MICHAEL JACKSON's ex-wife DEBBIE ROWE has become th e latest in a long line of creditors demanding cash from the King of Pop' s estate.
Eric George has filed legal papers in Los Angeles in a bid to
claim bac k $175,000 (=C2=A3109,375) for legal services during the battle to appoin t a guardian for Michael Jackson's three kids.
Rowe, who is the mother of two of the children, eventually agreed to th e court's decision to hand Katherine Jackson the job - a ruling the late superstar asked for in his will.
But, in his legal documents - obtained by TMZ.com, George claims estate lawyer Howard Weitzman promised to "reimburse (George's firm) on Ms. Row e's behalf." Weitzman disputes his former rival's claims, telling the website, "I ha d discussions with Mr. George about his request that the estate pay his f ees on behalf of Debbie Rowe, but no agreement was ever reached."
