The custody of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline’s children has been finalized. The Spears Federline custody was finalized moments ago here in Los Angeles. And based upon the outcome compared to other recent celebrity cases, Spears seems to have come out very good.
LALATE has the details for you just in.
Recent celebrity children custody fights have resulted in settlements of upwards of $80,000 a month.Here, Spears will only pay Kevin Federline $20,000 a month to raise their kids. In fact, that is a only a mere $5,000 increase over what Spears has been paying Federline since last year. She will not be paying Federline any additional money. At $20,000 a month for two kids, Spears’ settlement seems to be a great settlement for the pop singer.
Spears will make one last payment of $250,000 to Federline’s legal team. That payment is due by the end of the month.
Spears will make the $20,000 a month to Federline for a duration not yet announced. But here’s the analysis.
Some major news agencies had said that Spears had given Federline sole custody of their kids until age 18. That news, hardly believable at the time, has not been changed. New indications say that Spears will give Federline sole custody for 22 more months, roughly less than 2 years.
The net result: expect Spears to pay Federline $20,000 a month only for 22 months.
After that? Many tonight are suggesting that after that you should expect to see a joint 50/50 custody between Spears and Federline.
The two married in 2004, split in 2006, their divorce finalized in 2007. In the end - Kevin got no Spears money for himself, his lawyers got tons, both parents are happy, and expect everything to be 50/50 by 2010. … and everyone seems very happy.
