Britney Spears is concluding an important chapter in her life by making her last child support payment to ex-husband Kevin Federline this Friday. The 42-year-old music star has been consistently paying bi-monthly for their youngest son, Jayden, who just turned 18.
TMZ reports that Britney made an initial payment of $10,000 earlier this month and is preparing to send an additional $10,000 soon. This signifies the end of a long and tumultuous financial arrangement.
The child support journey has been quite turbulent. Earlier this year, there was a legal dispute between Britney’s attorney, Laura Wasser, and Kevin’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, regarding the payment amount. Eventually, both parties agreed to a cutoff in November, when their youngest child’s high school journey would conclude.
Initially, in 2007, Britney and Kevin agreed on a monthly payment of $20,000. This doubled to $40,000 in 2018 when Kevin gained full custody, deviating from their original joint arrangement. Last year, following their older son Sean Preston’s 18th birthday, the payments reverted to $20,000 a month.
Britney closes the chapter with her ex, Kevin
Despite the intensity of the situation, resolution appears to be on the horizon. A source close to Britney told TMZ, “She’s relieved that this chapter is finally coming to an end.” After a lengthy period, she feels satisfied with completing her obligations.
In the midst of these developments, Britney has recently reconnected with Jayden after years of distance and even relocated to Hawaii. Their reunion is heartwarming, and it is hoped that their relationship will continue to grow positively.
Looking back on this experience, it’s evident that Britney and Kevin have faced numerous challenges. They’ve managed to work through the complexities of co-parenting for their children’s best interests. As Britney prepares to make her last child support payment, it reminds us that with effort, closure and resolution can be achieved.
As they both move forward, there is hope for them to focus on maintaining a healthy and positive co-parenting relationship, prioritizing their children’s well-being above all.
