Kevin Federline is reportedly seeking an increase in child support payments from his ex-wife, Britney Spears. Federline currently receives $20,000 per month for the care of their two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James. However, as Sean Preston approaches his 18th birthday, which is set to occur in September, Federline is requesting that the monthly amount be raised to $40,000.
Federline’s legal team has allegedly filed documents in court, arguing that the current amount no longer adequately covers the expenses required to raise the two boys. They claim that the cost of living and the children’s needs have significantly increased since the initial child support agreement was put in place.
Sources close to Federline state that he has been a devoted and hands-on father to their children, even after his divorce from Spears in 2007. He has reportedly been actively involved in their upbringing, attending school events and extracurricular activities.
Spears, on the other hand, has experienced a resurgence in her career in recent years, including a successful Las Vegas residency and a return to the music industry. This has led to a significant increase in her income and financial stability.
The original child support agreement was reached in 2008, following a highly publicized custody battle between Federline and Spears. At the time, Federline was awarded full custody of the children, with Spears having visitation rights. The child support amount was determined based on the income disparity between the two parties.
It is unclear how Spears will respond to Federline’s request for an increase in child support. The court will ultimately decide whether the current amount is sufficient or if an adjustment is necessary, taking into consideration the best interests of the children.
Federline has not commented publicly on the matter, and representatives for Spears have yet to release a statement regarding the child support request. As the legal proceedings unfold, it remains to be seen how this situation will be resolved and what impact it will have on the co-parenting relationship between Federline and Spears.
