Kevin Federline, the former husband of pop star Britney Spears, is reportedly contemplating taking legal action to request an increase in child support. Federline currently receives $40,000 per month for the two children he shares with Spears, Jayden James and Sean Preston. However, he argues that the current payment is unfair as he has had full custody of the children for some time.
Key Takeaway
Kevin Federline is considering seeking an increase in child support payments for his two children with Britney Spears. Currently receiving $40,000 per month, Federline argues that the amount is unfair as he has had full custody of the children for some time. If successful, the child support could increase to $20,000 per month to cover the care of their youngest child, Jayden James.
Negotiating Child Support
When the terms of child support were initially negotiated, there was no discussion of full-time custody. Therefore, the current payment is based on the assumption that both parents have the children 50% of the time. However, sources close to the situation reveal that Britney Spears has not spent time with the children in quite some time.
Potential Increase in Child Support
If Federline decides to pursue an increase in child support, it is estimated that the amount could reach $20,000 per month. This figure is based on the assumption that he would require additional funds to cover 100% of the care for Jayden James, as Sean Preston will turn 18 in a few weeks and the child support for him will cease. Jayden James, on the other hand, will continue to receive support until June 2025, when he graduates from high school.
Federline’s Move to Hawaii
Last month, Federline, his children, and his wife Victoria made the decision to relocate to Hawaii. Britney Spears did not contest this move in court. While Federline encouraged Jayden James and Sean Preston to visit their mother, he did not force them to do so. As a result, the children have not seen their mother in over two years.
