Surprisingly enough Britney’s battle with K-Fed ended in a settlement with no fanfare at all. It seems that both of them were tired of the custody proceedings that have been raging for almost a year now. The settlement that had been speculated for months was finally reached on Friday. According to sources close to the singer, Britney is to pay her husband $20,000 in Child Support every month. This settlement comes with Federline retaining sole custody of the couple’s two sons Sean Preston and Jayden James. This is an increase from the amount that Spears used to pay earlier, which was $15,000 in child support.
This ends a long and tumultuous experience that both have had to go through trying to get full custody of the kids.Problems started when Britney filed for divorce from her husband in November 2006. With the popstars behavior going from bad to worse in the ensuing months the future of the kids hung in the balance with none of the individuals conceding any ground.The estranged couple have been trying to come to a settlement over the kids from the time that Spears filed for a divorce in November 2006. Mark Vincent Kaplan, Federline’s lawyer in this case also demanded and received an amount of $250,000 for his work on the case.According to the settlement the popstar formally gets increased visitation with her kids twice a week along with an overnight stay. She can get an additional overnight with the kids if Britney can keep upto her good behavior and nothing is amiss in the next few months.
