- Despite the end of child support payments, Britney is still happy to financially support her sons directly and thinks it's time for Kevin to get a job.
- Britney may have rising legal costs due to her divorce from Sam Asghari, including potentially paying for his apartment and a generous settlement if he challenges their prenup.
Britney Spears is going through an expensive divorce, but she can breathe a sigh of relief, as child support payments for one of her two sons is reportedly about to end. “Britney is relieved that Sean is turning 18 on September 14 because she is tired of paying Kevin the insane amount of money he is getting,” a source exclusively told Daily Mail.
The source said that Britney is still happy to help her sons out financially, but she’s glad there won’t be any more child support payments going to her ex, Kevin Federline. The pair were married from 2004 to 2007, and K-Fed got primary custody of their boys shortly after their split.
“Britney is happy to help Sean and Jayden. There is nothing she wouldn't do for her sons. But this would go directly to them after they turn 18 instead of Kevin,” the insider continued, adding Britney thinks “it's time for Kevin to get a job.”
Kevin Almost Got More Child Support By Moving His Family To Hawaii
Earlier this year, it was revealed that Kevin had asked Britney for permission to move their sons to Hawaii, along with his wife and their two younger children. Britney apparently didn’t contest the move. However, there was speculation moving to the tropical state may entitle K-Fed to more money from Britney, since Hawaii is one of few U.S. states with extended child support laws. In some cases, Hawaii can require a parent to pay child support until the offspring is 23.
However, as Daily Mail notes, Hawaiian state laws says that if child support was established in another state, that agreement still applies. As such, Britney and Kevin’s agreement falls under Californian jurisdiction, which no longer requires Britney to pay child support once a child turns 18.
Kevin and Britney’s younger son, Jayden, is 17-years old, so it won’t be long before the pop star is no longer required to pay child support for him, either.
It’s not known how much Britney is paying in child support per month. In May of 2018, Kevin Federline made a formal request for an upward adjustment in child support payments for their two sons, seeking an increase of $40,000 per month, raising the total from $20,000 to $60,000.
At the time, Britney’s father and conservator, Jamie Spears, initially opposed Kevin's request. The details of any subsequent changes in the support amount, if any were granted, remain undisclosed as the case was sealed.
Britney Spears’ Divorce From Sam Asghari Is Getting Expensive
Britney may no longer have to foot child support, but she’s got a lot of rising legal costs thanks to her divorce from Sam Asghari. It was recently reportedly that the singer agreed to pay her estranged husband’s $10,000 apartment after he moved out of their marital home after filing for divorce on August 16th after 14 months of marriage.
Moreover, Britney may have to pay a generous divorce settlement to Sam, as various reports say he’s trying to challenge their prenup, though he’s denied the allegations. Their divorce remains ongoing.
