Kevin Federline, the former backup dancer and ex-husband of pop star Britney Spears, is reportedly contemplating taking legal action to request an increase in child support. According to sources with direct knowledge of the situation, Kevin currently receives $40,000 per month to support their two children, Jayden James and Sean Preston. However, the child support agreement was based on the assumption that both parents would have equal custody of the children, which is no longer the case.
Key Takeaway
Kevin Federline is contemplating going to court to request a child support increase from Britney Spears. The current child support agreement is based on the assumption of equal custody, which is no longer the case. The support for one of their sons will end soon, while the other will continue until high school graduation. Kevin Federline supports his sons’ decision not to have contact with their mother and has respected their wishes. If Kevin proceeds with the legal action, it could have significant financial implications for both parties and potentially lead to a reevaluation of the child custody arrangement.
Background
For several years now, Britney Spears has not had any custody of her children, and they have not been in contact with her. In fact, Kevin Federline, along with his wife, Victoria, and their sons, recently made the decision to move to Hawaii. This move was not contested by Britney in court.
Potential Changes in Child Support
As one of their sons, Sean Preston, is turning 18 soon, the child support for him will cease. However, the support for Jayden James will continue until he graduates from high school in June 2025. Realistically, if Kevin seeks an increase in child support, the relevant amount would be $20,000 per month. However, depending on the circumstances and Kevin’s ability to demonstrate the need for additional funds to care for Jayden on a full-time basis, this amount could potentially increase.
Kevin Federline’s Decision
Although Kevin Federline has encouraged his sons to maintain a relationship with their mother, he has respected their decision not to do so. The children have not seen Britney Spears for almost two years now, as they opted not to say goodbye before the move to Hawaii. The exact reasons for this estrangement are not known.
Conclusion
Kevin Federline, along with his attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan, is currently assessing the possibility of seeking a child support increase from Britney Spears. Should he proceed with the legal action, the outcome will have significant financial implications for both parties involved and could potentially lead to a reevaluation of the child custody arrangement.
