The wife of Jackie Jackson, oldest of the singing Jackson brothers, asked the courts to stop her husband from using money from family corporations on lovers and extravagant trips. Enid Jackson claimed in court papers that she had discovered her husband had secretly taken $16,000 from family corporations to buy his girlfriend a car and $10,000 to fly himself and a friend to the Super Bowl and the National Basketball Assn. All-Star Game. Mrs. Jackson filed for divorce in January and won a court order throwing him out of their Encino home because he allegedly beat her.
