Great news for Britney Spears today … the ruling judge overseeing her ongoing custody case for her young sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, has extended the 50/50 custody ruling put in place earlier this year to last at least thru the end of 2009. After Britney‘s scary melt-down in early 2008, Britney lost custody rights to her children and their father, Kevin Federline, became their primary custodial caregiver. Since Britney‘s recovery, she has slowly won back visitation rights to see her sons and then earlier this year won back equal custody rights to share with K-Fed … for a price:
Britney Spears will share 50/50 custody with Kevin Federline at least through the end of the year — TMZ has learned. An L.A. County Superior Court judge extended the order that was initially put in place for Britney’s concert tour. Under the terms, Britney gets to travel with Sean Preston and Jayden James and must provide K-Fed with a place to stay if he wants to follow them on tour. Sources tell us the sealed order is very detailed, but Britney gets minimum 50/50 custody and at times even more. As for Kevin, in addition to the $20,000 a month Britney pays him in child support, he gets between $20,000 and $25,000 a month when the kids are outside of California. At the end of the year the judge will reevaluate custody. We’re told it’s looking like a 50/50 split is the way of the future.
You may recall that the order states that K-Fed has to be PAID by Britney extra money IN ADDITION to his regular child support payments. The good news is that the order has been extended and Britney will get just as much time with her sons as K-Fed does, the bad news is that she’ll be shelling out LOTS of money to her slimy, overfed ex-husband for the right to see her children. It’s a gross situation but I commend Britney for doing what she has to do to be with her children. A 50/50 split is the best either parent can hope for so this is great news for our dear Britney. She has come a very long way since her breakdown … I think her success with her children has been her greatest accomplishment.

As much as I hate this situation, it’s fair. I mean, if Britney is willing to pay the money for her kids (which she obviously is) then there’s no problem. I really hate the fact he gets paid so much and doesn’t care about his other kids, though. It’s not really fair in some ways. I just feel bad for Britney because she has to do everything and she’s basically just a cash cow for her ex-husband, her family, team, and JIVE whom milk her out of everyone for cash. It’s quite sad.
I don’t care how much K-fed get’s and I hope Brit doesn’t either…… I would give my ex everything I owned if it meant seeing my kids….. however now that the custody is 50/50 it’s starting to seem like Brit has to pay K-fed moolah so she can spend time with her kids.
Trent, I just hope some ladies out there learn from her experience. If you love him enough to marry him after 2 months, there is no harm in waiting a little longer to make sure you still love him after 2 years!
Trent, I think you’re being awfully kind to Ms. Britney. I’m so glad to see that she’s doing well, but truthfully, Kevin was there to take care of his kids when she jumped off the deep end. She put her kids in danger with her erratic behavior and even the Spears family has said that Kevin was a good father when Britney was emotionally unavailable to them. I trust the judge’s decision on this because Britney has come along way, but it’s going to take more than a few months of good behavior to erase the years of reckless behavior.
We all know he was in it for the money. I mean Shar Jackson knew that and she pretty much confirmed the fact that he only wants custody of BRITNEYS kids because of the money. She recently said something like, “K-Fat talks to them all the time on the phone and i gotta usually take the phone off them.”

Ahh hello, its called SEEING your kids. Not HEARING them you fat douche.

What sucks the most is, that when Brit does gain permanent 50/50 custody and not touring etc… she still has to pay his fat ass child support. I mean its 50/50 it shouldnt be like that. I dont exactly know what the rules are here in Aussie myself, but i sure as hell know it aint like THAT i dont think like it is in the US.

Fair enuf Brit is the money earner out of the two, but he should really be made by the court to work or find an income. I mean Brit shouldn’t be made to be paying for his living really. I just really want the day where Britney gains more custody than him. It may take a while, a year or two, but i can tell that day will come and then she won’t need to pay to feed his fat mouth no more.

Little does K-Fat know, Victoria Price or whatever that hoes name is, is doing what he did to Brit. They’ll get married in his backyard and then when Brits money stops rolling in, Vic is OUT with the cash! As much as funny that will be, its sad for the fact that Brit is also supplying this cash to an unknown white trash former stripper bitch like that Victoria hoe.
ALSO… just cause Brit is FILTHY RICH! Why does it mean that K-Fat should get something 20K a MONTH!
—
I mean, there are plenty of families out there who can sometimes struggle to bring that in a year. I mean let Brit splash that out herself to gain more custody or for her own kids when she with them. But why should the courts make her splash that out just cause she has a lot of money! It’s kinda disgusting really…

The courts are clearly NOT thinking about the kids, just money! An avergae joe family don’t have to fork out 20K a month plus another 20K when one takes the kids out of the state for child support. IT’S TOTALLY WRONG NO MATTER WHO IT IS.. EVEN IF ITS BILL GATES!!!!
@j i belive the courts determine child support based on ones income and that is why he gets that amount.
