A lawyer representing Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe has become the 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 back $175,000 (£109,375) for legal services during the battle to appoint a guardian for Michael Jackson's three kids.

Rowe, who is the mother of two of the children, eventually agreed to the 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 estatelawyer Howard Weitzman promised to "reimburse (George's firm) on Ms. Rowe's behalf".

Weitzman disputes his former rival's claims, telling the website, "I had discussions with Mr George about his request that the estate pay his fees on behalf of Debbie Rowe, but no agreement was ever reached".
