Britney Ordered to Pay Up

Britney Spears
Now that Britney Spears and K-Fed's custody battle has come to an end, Brit has been ordered by a judge to cough up $20K in child support, an increase from $15,000, reports People.com

"All Britney was seeking was a formalization of her increased visitation that she's obtained over recent weeks, and the additional overnight," a source said. "She won both of those requests."

K-Fed's gangsta lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan is also getting a big payday. He demanded and received $250,000 for his work on the case. Not too shabby considering Brit didn't show up for half the court hearings.

How very sad that she wouldn't fight for these children. She is OKAY with her limited visitation?? That just shows what kind of mother she is and what purpose those boys serve in her life....

Annie you need to understand that Britney nor Kevin is going to have these children full time. Britney got more time with her kids and Kevin got more money. Basically she paid 5000 more a month for her kids. Really paying 20 thousand a month and 250 thousand in kevis lawyers fee's, her own lawyer fee's, good greif she needs to save where she can. If she has her children 50% of the time what the hell does it matter anyway??

Well I would assume if she got 50/50, which would mean joint custody, it would be reported as "joint custody". That is not what she got.....she gave UP her physical and legal right to her children. So get it straight GINA!! I think it speaks for itself. Someday her children will read all this stuff and I think they would like to know that she fought with every dime she had and exhausted every effort she could to get them back. That is what a real mother would do!!!

Gina can't read. But Annie I'm sure her lawyer told her the chances of getting custody of her boys is nil as long as she is in custody.

At least she is paying up for her kids - like a real mother would. It's her money that's lining Kaplan's pockets and K-Fud's defence - no one else's. Yeah she's been of the rails but when all's said and done, it's Brit's money that's paid for the boys food, clothes, housing, nannies and medical needs, no one else's.

Shes still their mother and ofcourse shes not happy with the result but im sure that she will get time with the boys anyway !!

Damn Karma has kicked her ass!!! I bet Shar Jackson is laughing her ass off!
Posted by: Adrian on 07/19/2008 06:26 AM



You are so right Binda, no one seems to think of that. Britney has been paying for everything from day one and will continue for the next eighteen years. She will get these kids back in about 6 months.
Posted by: Down To Earth on 07/19/2008 09:41 AM



First of all it's already been established Britney is the atm machine in that relationship. That's why he married her. Moral of the story is don't marry an UNEMPLOYED guy who's girlfriend is expecting his baby. And as far as the kids are concerned you said that six months ago DTE. Try 2 years.
Posted by: Tasha on 07/19/2008 12:54 PM



Yes because hindsight's a wonderful thing Tasha..
Posted by: binda on 07/19/2008 01:15 PM



Good one Binda!
Posted by: Down To Earth on 07/19/2008 02:05 PM



You didn't to contact the psychic hotline to see this coming. Ray Charles could have seen what an opportunist Kevin was. And common sense would tell you maybe it's not a good idea to go out paryting everynight, leaving 2 babies at home during a custody battle, especially after the judge calls you out.
Posted by: Tasha on 07/19/2008 02:32 PM



Kevin is loser !
Posted by: me on 07/19/2008 02:37 PM



Binda, one does not need hindsight to see if Britney has conducted herself with the same dignity that Christie Brinkley showed, she would have her kids. You didn't see her acting stupid and her husband was a jerk too.
Posted by: Eastcoast girl on 07/19/2008 03:37 PM



Britney? Dignity? Two words you don't hear in the same sentence!
Posted by: Johnny on 07/19/2008 06:32 PM



Hey Binda, if Kevin is such a loser what does say about her? All her money and resources and she couldn't get custody of her own children. A judge, not to mention her own parents say Kevin is the better parent. I have 2 kids and even on my worst day, I can't imagine Kevin being a better parent than me. So that tells me that there is a hell of a lot we don't know about that led to this decision.
Posted by: Sandra on 07/19/2008 06:41 PM



Okay, I think it's so unfair to say that Britney didn't fight for her kids. If anyone has ever dealt or seen someone close to you deal with a divorce, you would understand how hard it is exactly! It's really emotionally draining. I would have done the same as Britney. At this point, coming to an agreement was the best option. Now she can enjoy her boy's visits, and not have to worry about the on going battle. Also, custody agreements can be changed later on it. It isn't set in stone. When Britney really gets a grip on her life, she can request for more visits, joint custody, etc. I am sure Kevin would agree to it as well.
Posted by: hmm on 07/19/2008 06:42 PM



I agree with Sandra. Imagine how FUCKED UP she must be to lose custody to that ass.
Posted by: Lois on 07/19/2008 07:43 PM



Oh Lois, Britney devotees like Binda & DTE will never look at that minor point.
Posted by: Tasha on 07/19/2008 11:06 PM



She lost custody, get over it. She's the ONLY one paying for her kids. Is welfare? Is K-Fud? Hell no. Credit where credit's due, she's at least paying for her kids. Or are you all so hung up on personal attacks because you don't like the truth? Oh and Tasha, we've gone this route before, so please pay attention this time. I am not a Britney devotee. If you don't think it's a good thing for her to pay for her kids, then say so. Don't hide behind some lame childish taunts to try to make yourself look 'big' on the internet.
Posted by: binda on 07/20/2008 12:51 AM



Binda you get over it. No one here has argued that she doesn't pay for her kids and support Kevin. If you can read you will see my earlier post she is the atm in this relationship. So you're talking to yourself on this one sweetheart. And like my earlier post you did not need to be a psychic friend to see maybe marrying a guy who is sitting on his ass BEFORE you met him, and whose girlfriend is expecting his kid is not a good thing on the wallet. Try to pay attention.
Posted by: Tasha on 07/20/2008 06:32 AM



It's a good news.Of my friend told me she saw he can't wait to see a girl on the site named""Millionaire4me.com""Wow,it's a bad man.
Posted by: katty on 07/20/2008 06:46 AM



We know she foots the bill but Binda why don't you answer Sandra's question. Kev must not be all that bad if a court has deemed him the STABLE and best parent over her. If you need 5 people in the room WATCHING YOU to make sure you don't do anything to your kids you have a problem.

NOT EXACTLY A RINGING ENDORSEMENT ON HER MOTHERING SKILLS NOW IS IT?????
Posted by: THE JOKER on 07/20/2008 07:21 AM



What does it say about Kevin giving this supposable unstable mother more time with the kids in exchange for more money? Oh and don’t say she did not get more time Laura said on video at x-17. BUT IT IS NOT ABOUT MONEY, RIGHT TASHA? Do you not understand this is a strategic move from Laura W. The conservatorship will be removed at the end of the month and Kevin will not be able to hold the children over her head.
Posted by: Spank on 07/20/2008 07:57 AM



Anne I did not say she had her 50/50 back but if she gets to see her children 50% of the time, what is the difference. So when you want to "try" correcting someone make sure you dont put words in my sentences.
Posted by: Gina on 07/20/2008 08:09 AM



Kevin has primary custody she has visits. And the only reason he even agreed to that is because of what Kyle said, there's an army of people in the room with her with the boys. Spank for Kevin it was always about the $$$. I never said different. That's why he hooked up with her to begin with. His plan was clear as glass. And I seriously doubt the conservatorship will be lifted by the end of the month. Didn't her lawyers say last month she couldn't handle her own affairs? Like Kyle said you don't go from conservatorship and VERY SUPERVISED visitation because of harm you might do to the kids to joint custody in 6 months.
Posted by: Tasha on 07/20/2008 09:18 AM



If Kevin is a loser she is an even bigger loser to lose her kids to him. Her own kid sister has custody of her baby, now how pathetic is that? Besides her parents don't seem to have a problem with Kevin so why do Spank and others who don't even know the guy have one?
Posted by: Deborah on 07/20/2008 09:43 AM



KEVIN IS NOT A GOLD DIGGER. IF HE WERE A GOLD DIGGER HE COULD HAVE DEMANDED AND RECEIVED 25 MILLION LUMP SUM FROM BRITNEY TO WALK AWAY FROM THE BOYS, HE DID NOT DO THAT.THE CHILD SUPPORT HE IS GOING TO RECEIVE TILL THE BOYS TURN 18 IS ABOUT 8 MILLION. HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN A LOT MORE IF HE WALKED.
Posted by: THE JOKER on 07/20/2008 09:53 AM



Don't under estimate Laura Wasser! She had Britney's visitation back within 3 days. You can only imagine what she can accomplish in 6 months. We will see.
Posted by: Down To Earth on 07/20/2008 01:06 PM



Wow, all these heated arguments. I think Kevin is money hungry. We all know that. Gold-diggers are not that obvious. Believe me, it takes one to know one. And PSSH..child support? Sounds more like a paycheck. What the hell? Even $10,000 a month is enough for my whole family. Basically, this guy is set for the next 18 years of his life. Now he has money to pay for mortgage, shar's child support, nannies, a little vacation in Vegas, and gas. And about the argument of "if Kevin is the loser parent, what does that make britney?" I say... The only reason why Britney lost custody is because you don't know how mentally stable she is right now. It's really unpredictable. I would have given custody to K-Fed as well. Not because he is the better parent, but because K-fed does not need mental help. Britney needs to become stable herself, before she can provide stability for her kids.
Posted by: hmm on 07/20/2008 02:07 PM



Laura Wasser is not the miracle worker. Didn't she quit at one time? It's going to a gradual process, first remove the conservatorship, then try for unsupervised visits, maybe an weekend overnight unsupervised, then joint custody. All of that is not going to happen in 6 months. Besides you don't know how she is going to act once her father is not in control. If she is doing what she doing now, she'll eventually get 50/50. But if she calls Sam & the gang and gets back on the party train she'll be back at square one.
Posted by: Tasha on 07/20/2008 05:08 PM



Laura quit because Britney did not listen. But Britney is doing everything she is told. Like I said before 3 days on the job and Britney had visitation. So I say yes she is a miracle worker. As I also stated above, Britney has to be a good girl.
Posted by: Down To Earth on 07/21/2008 02:15 PM



You're right she's doing what she is told. Let's see what she does on her own without daddy telling her what to do. Laura will probably quit again.
Posted by: Tasha on 07/21/2008 08:05 PM



BOO HOO
Posted by: Patty on 07/22/2008 08:09 AM



It is not her Daddy telling her what to do. She is doing well and Kevin tried to destroy her.Who cares about him anymore? He is over.
