A woman by the name of Shellie Doreen Smith filled legal papers laying claim to Michael Jackson's money. Smith says that she was married to Michael in the 1970's, though she can't remember exactly when. She also claims that the marriage ceremony was held in a New York hotel and was witnessed only by the hotel's employees. Reports say that Smith is seeking spousal support from Jackson as well.

1. Michael Jackson has been married more than a couple of times. I am sure he covered all bases and filed divorces over anyone he may have married in his previous past.
2. Michael Jackson can get a divorce from anyone without them knowing it if he can't locate them via means of newspaper notification. I divorced my second husband and he has no knowledge of it because I could not honestly locate him. My Lawyer ran an add in the paper for the legal amount of time legally necessarily to get a legal divorce without serving papers. The announcement was legal and considered his "serving papers". I did not know where he was and this was the only way I could do my divorce.
3. It is likely if she was married to him that long ago he filed the divorce and she did not know about it.
4. There is no way he had another wife because I think if I was married to someone so rich I would not lay in the dark until his death. I would be wanting my money right then and there while he was still living and breathing and could admit while he was alive that he was married to me.
5. If I marry anyone I am going to know what day I married on. Especially if they are a super star and rich.
6. Like everyone else say's. She is nuttier than hell and just money hungry. Leave the dead man's estate alone that belongs to his kids you freak!!!

Also, if she is filing for alimony if in fact they where married and he divorced her there is no way in a snow balls chance she can get anything. She would have to persue alimony while he was still living. If they where infact still married when he died she could persue inheritence rights only. Unfortunately being she has no proof she can't get poop. She would have to have physical evidence they were in fact married plus she would have to prove that they were still married when he died!

Yes, as per to this woman, perhaps why she can't remember the time of her marriage to the late and lovely Michael Jackson, is very likely due to one true fact, IT WAS ONY IN HER DREAMS.You see she in her mind has actually gave it reallity. That's the problem here, she is very certain, yet there isn't proof. After all they say,'The proof is in the pudding!'.We all know that there have been already too many who have laid claim that Michael Jackson was there husband, yet we all know the truth. He was married to Lisa M. Presley, and Debbie Rowe. Lets just pray for those that are laying false claim on account of greed and the lusts for money. Please everyone, Let Michel J. Jackson rest in peace and leave what he rightfully made alone. It was his hard work and tireless dedication that made him the 'Greatest That Ever Is!'. Also, his children are the ones that rightfully are the heirs to his fortune and leave them alone. These children have gone through soooo much, please i pray that you all just let them be,just let them be!.To 'The Jackson Children', I pray that Jehovah God be with you and carry you n his loving embrace. That all of you take care to be good to yourself throughout this life here upon earth, knowing that one day we'll see your father again in Paradise!. Until then, You'll be in me and 3 Childrens prayers,
God Bless you All,
