The payments shall be returned to the estate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Court documents also revealed that Paris is &#8220;entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys&#8217; fees for bringing her motion&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A spokesperson for Paris released a statement explaining what the decisions meant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Paris has always been focused on what&#8217;s best for her family, and this ruling is a massive win for them,&#8221; the statement read.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;After years of delay, the Jackson family will finally get the transparency and accountability measures Paris has fought for. The Jackson Estate is supposed to be a prudent, fiscally responsible entity that supports the Jackson family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The judge also acknowledged the positive work the executors have done ever since Michael died at the age of 50 in June 2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paris Jackson is celebrating a win in her legal battle with the executors of her late father Michael&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14546,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[11160,637,30,500,11086],"class_list":{"0":"post-14545","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-paris","8":"tag-bonus-payments","9":"tag-michael-jackson","10":"tag-paris","11":"tag-paris-jackson","12":"tag-the-jackson-family"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14545"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14545\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
