Britney Spears To Make Last Child Support Payment To Kevin Federline After Years Of Financial Obligations

Britney Spears will reportedly make her final child support payment to her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, this week, ending her financial obligations to her son Jayden, now 18.

The famous singer and Jayden reconnected after years of estrangement, with Jayden back in California, reportedly rebuilding his relationship with his mom.

In her memoir, "The Woman in Me," Britney Spears opened up about her motherhood journey, her 13-year conservatorship, and reclaiming her voice to tell her story on her terms.

According to TMZ, Spears will finally be done paying child support to her ex-husband Federline this Friday by sending the last $10,000 to the DJ.

Earlier this month, Spears paid $10K, and this final payment will conclude her financial obligations, bringing her bi-monthly payments made on behalf of their son, Jayden, who turned 18 two months ago to a close.

The arrangement followed a legal dispute between Britney's attorney, Laura Wasser, and Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, over the payment terms.

The two sides eventually reached an agreement to end child support payments in November, coinciding with Jayson's high school graduation.

When Spears and Federline divorced in 2007, the original agreement required her to pay him $20,000 per month.

However, in 2018, the payment increased to $40,000 as Federline was granted full custody of their children. After Sean Preston, now 19, turned 18 last year, the payments were reduced back to $20,000 per month.

Spears has been paying child support to Federline for the care of their kids for the past 17 years, which has reportedly accrued to a total of $5 million.

A source told the Daily Mail that the cessation of the payments is sure to leave a sour taste in Federline's mouth as it'll mean he'll struggle to maintain his lifestyle.

"The amount of money Britney has given Kevin for the two boys is extraordinary, and it is enough for any man to support an entire family, which is what she believes he has done," the source explained.

Federline currently lives in Hawaii with his current wife, Victoria Prince, and his four other children – two of whom he fathered with Prince and two with his ex-fiancée, Shar Jackson.

The DJ has also denied that he moved to the state to take advantage of a legal loophole that would extend the singer's child support payments.

According to Page Six sources, the latest update comes after Spears recently reconciled with her 18-year-old son, Jayden, after years of separation.

Jayden, who had been living in Hawaii with his brother Sean Preston and their father Federline, is now reportedly back in California, where the 42-year-old popster resides.

However, it is unclear if Jayden is staying at Spears's $7.4 million Thousand Oaks mansion, but a source shared that "Britney is thrilled to have her baby back" and that "Everything is moving in the right direction."

Spears' in-person reunion with Jayden comes about six months after he and his brother Preston reportedly called her on Mother's Day, which Kevin Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, called "a good sign" for their relationship.

In June, Kaplan explained that "Obviously, a reconciliation/reunification is somewhat complex and can be a process that takes some time," noting that Federline "supports the boys having a relationship with their mother."

In a rare interview with the UK's ITV in September 2022, Jayden spoke candidly about his strained relationship with his mom, Spears, who had been under a conservatorship for 13 years.

"I 100 percent think this can be fixed. It's just going to take a lot of time and effort," he said, adding, "I just want her to get better mentally. When she gets better, I really want to see her again."

Jayden also expressed discomfort with Spears' frequent nude posts on Instagram, saying, "It's almost like she has to post something on Instagram to get some attention."

He mentioned that he and his brother Preston struggled with feeling like they didn't always receive "equal love" or "attention," which deeply affected Preston.

Reflecting on their journey, Jayden noted, "We've both been through so much pressure in the past that this is our safe place now, to process all the emotional trauma we've been through to heal, heal our mental state."

In October 2023, Spears graced the cover of People Magazine to promote her memoir, "The Woman in Me," where she described motherhood as a "dream come true."

Reflecting on raising her sons, she said, "Starting a family was my dream come true. Being a mom was my dream come true."

During the chat, the pop star shared that another major goal of hers has been reclaiming her voice.

"Over the past 15 years or even at the start of my career, I sat back while people spoke about me and told my story for me," she explained. "After getting out of my conservatorship, I was finally free to tell my story without consequences from the people in charge of my life."

Her memoir, "The Woman in Me," is an unfiltered look into her life, tracing her journey from teen icon to one of the top-selling female artists through the "soul-crushing" years of her conservatorship and her experiences with love and loss.
