K-Fed Saddened By Britney's Custody Loss

January 15, 2008

When your in the middle of a bitter custody battle, the guy with the mohawk is usually the one you don't want raising the kids, but in the case of Spears vs. Federline, Britney makes K-Fed look like 'Father of the Year.'

Britney made a quick peek-a-boo at court yesterday (after arriving 4 hours late) and then refused to enter the courthouse for their latest custody hearing. She spent the rest of the day sucking face with her married paparazzi boyfriend Adnan.

So how does Kevin feel about all this? K-Fed's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan says his client is "saddened his boys won't be able to see their mother and hopes the situation will one day be resolved."

He continued, "The word victory is not something that Mister Federline nor his counsel would ascribe to the result of the court ruling today. There is no joyous feeling in this, this is a grave situation for everyone. At some point, it is Mister Federline's hope to parent the minor children with participation from the mother."

Spears won't be able to see her children until February 19 but she seems too busy with her new boyfriend to even care.

Shanique: Never been a Britney fan...could name maybe 3 of her songs. I have always been a fan of equal justice. You said:"She married him, had his kids. HER DECISION. And like millions of people across this land, she has to deal with an ex she can't stand. Get over it! She married a jerk." True she did mayyr a jerk but worse than that she married a guy that was not interested in being married. He was only interested in her money and that is why he pushed for babies within the first 2 years. He knew that WHEN the divorce came he would likely fall into the clause that said he would receive limited alimony and he did...alimony ended in November. If not for the kids his game would be over but the kids were all part of his plan. Brit differs from most other women that married a jerk in that most other women did not have millions of dollars for the guy to try and steal. I hope Britney does whatever she can to have the court see that she will allow her rights to be terminated rather than pay K-Fed, have a monitor or submit to any more drug testing than K-Fed is required to submit to. Let the court terminate her rights which is the threat right now, and then send the lawyer in to cancel child support for kids she has no rights to. As a Mother, after her rights are terminated she can offer to pay for the education if at a school of her choosing but only if the check goes directly to the school and never to K-Fed. When the kids are old enough to read what both parents did here they will side with their Mom. As for the other guys we read about...you and I do not know if she is even interested in any of them other than the effect they have on K-FEd. K-Fed would have been in court getting his child support increased for full custody if he and his lawyer thought he had a chance but they know he does not.

11:00AM 01/17/08 Shanique

You never comment about him the new boyfriend. Another one of your idol's wise decisions like Kevin, Howie Day and Sam Lufti?

10:56AM 01/17/08 Shanique

Look let's not even discuss Kevin's character or lack thereof or how lowdown he is. She married him, had his kids. HER DECISION. And like millions of people across this land, she has to deal with an ex she can't stand. Get over it! She married a jerk. She's not special in that regard, it happens everyday. I'm not assuming anything about Britney. She can continue doing what she's doing now. Which is living an aimlessly life.But the opportunity to change the court's ruling will be there for her. And she will be financially responsible for those kids. So try watching other shows besides Nancy Grace. 3 hr police standoff with an unlocked door. Did Nancy Grace say that too? And your're loonier than she is if you think she is going to get full custody in April without changing her behavior. Come April, we'll who is closer to being correct. I think people like you said she would never lose custody in the first place, now look at her. And Brett is right, if she does not control her fertility she'll be paying that pap guy child support too.

10:30AM 01/17/08 Jodi

I think Nancy Grace and company are correct. You are assuming that Brit will follow a court's order to see her kids. Now think hard and don't burst any blood vessels. Why would a girl with the money and fame she has knuckle under to an nonworking- gold digging- pot smoking- lying exhusband? Now think to the future when these kids are 12 and will have heard and read all about both parents. Simple psych says they will be doing anything they can to get the chance to see their Mom. They will blame K-Fed. I agree that most parents will not be able to walk into court and asked to be stripped of rights in an effort to avoid child support payments but in this case Britney did not ask the court to strip her of her rights. K-Fed lies or is just soooo high on pot that he does not know what is true anymore and it was his lies about Brit being addicted to cocaine and meth that caused the court to order random drug tests (all of which were clean) and monitored visits. The fact that K-Fed got away with misleading the court is why Britney's PPD has become worse. I am not saying that Brit never did drugs of any kind but I am saying that K-Fed was and is the drug addicted parent. Therefore there are 2 options: 1) The court sees what they helped K-Fed do to Britney and returns full custody to her. OR 2) K-Fed keeps full custody while Brit refuses to follow any court orders and has her rights terminated which will result in no child support for K-Fed. After that either the kids grow up struggling on K-Fed's income and blame him when they are old enough OR K-Fed returns the kids to Britney either before or after he loses control and hits one of them.... I see you have no more to say about the "locked door" after learning that the POLICE said that door was not locked and they simply opened it.

9:42AM 01/17/08 Shanique

Jodi you're the one who needs to brush up on facts and not fantasies to try to justify your idol's behavior.In your state of confusion, you're equating Kevin's full custody with her rights terminated. Unless she tries to hurt them or does something incredibly stupid, her rights will not be terminated in April. If she does not get counseling, come April Kevin will be granted full custody. And the judge will give Britney a laundry lists of things to do in order to regain visits and joint custody again. I'm sure he'll demand counseling. It's not going to over for her, just a setback. Britney can challenge the ruling until they turn 18.... Because of her behavior it's not going to be easy. Courts do not like to sever links with parents & kids and try hard to reunite them. If she does what the court wants she'll get supervised custody again. Not at her house, but at a cps office or social services office. Then visits at the house and gradually her joint custody again. It won't happen overnight. She is looking at least 1 yr -18 mos. time frame. So exorcise yourself from the Nancy Grace fantasy that Britney can just walk away in April and dictate to Kevin what she wants to do and life is just peachy king. If she wants to be in her children's life ,she has a long road to follow.

6:12AM 01/17/08 Jodi

Shanique: Do some more reading (avoid TMZ) and try to improve your reading comp skill. I have read and heard on TV that the door behind which Britney was sitting was not locked when the police went to open the door. It may have or may not have been locked before the police arrived. They (the police)also said that she was sitting in the room craddling her baby. Now if you have read my postings, I have clearly said that I do not agree with the law but that is the law...if you are found unfit and all rights to your kids are terminated..you do not pay child support. One also would not be required to pay any type of support to a person found to be abusing you. So far Britney's rights are just suspended but heading toward being terminated. Think what you like but lawyers in many cases pull the pass the case thing in an effort to have their client win. But hon....if she is found unfit and rights are terminated...she will not pay child support. Too bad for K-FEd....if he wanted money he should have delt directly with Britney. Keep watching hon because I would like to see if you are man enough to admit you were wrong when Britney ends up with full custody and no child support payments. I suppose you also think she should just keep paying the morgages for K-Fed's parents 2 homes. Oh and for the record..lawyers don't embarrass easily.....they just get paid.

5:46AM 01/17/08 Shanique

I don't even know where to start. But I will say Jodi you are crazy as hell. You said the door at Britney's home was unlocked. If the door was unlocked then the monitor wouldn't have called the police and there wouldn't have been a 2 hr standoff dummy!! Britney can do no wrong with you and you're talking out of your ass. But I will say this Britney has 2 choices. Get her shit together, whatever it is that causing so much pain, she needs to get it fixed. That is the only way she is going to regain her visits & joint custody. Even if they find a dead body in Kevin's house, she won't get custody back because she has been deemed unfit. Those boys would go to one of the grandparents or foster care. So either get her life together or keep doing what she's doing and Kevin be granted full custody and she'll pay child support. But she is not going to be able to relinquish her parental rights in order to get out of paying child support, I really hope that is not her plan. Do you know how many estranged ex husbands would say "fuck it" if they could do that. So her choice is to pay him joint custody child support $15K/mo or full custody support $80K- $100K/mo. But the court will make her financially support those boys. One more thing, her lawywers are quitting because she is not cooperative. That's why. It's embarrassing when your client tells the judge to fuck off by not showing up for depositions, court hearings or drug tests. They have a reputation to uphold and will tolerate nonsense for only so long. OJ's lawyers didn't quit, because he had the sense to do as he was told.

4:57AM 01/17/08 Jodi

Sandra: I would like to read the depo of Lynn Spears but have been unable to find it. Could you please give the web address for viewing this depo. Many of the reported claims are not from the court but are from Kaplan leaks and may or may not be accurate. Please provide the web address if this depo exists. This is the 3rd set of lawyers that have "quit" for Britney...this is not uncommon when working on a case this big (with money).

11:35PM 01/16/08 Mary

I agree tasha, everyone tried to warn her,but love doesn't play by the rules. How many times your mama tell you don't do this, and you did it. Thats how life is..live n learn. Britney is no different, her problem was that everyone around her saw her as the GOLDEN HEN who laid the GOLDEN EGGS $$$$$ Pulling and tugging at her, till she BUGGED OUT! Now she just crazy. And all who helped her get like that are asking whats wrong with her!! K-fed, I can't stand his smug looking face. reminds me of a RAT !!..They eat food and whats left over they pee on so no other rat will eat it.

7:02PM 01/16/08 Sandra

The deposition was online from the court. Read it. Not all the docs have been released but you can read a lot of them online if you take the time. Her lawyers tried to dump her, before her breakdown, so I doubt they're planning this grand strategy you're talking about. If her lawyers were able to get her kids back they would, but her little police standoff put a crimp in their plans I'm sure.

5:24PM 01/16/08 Suzzie

Sandra: I am very unsure about Lynn Spears. We do not have a deposition to read although It would not surprise me to find TMZ or others claiming to have a depo from Lynn Spears. We know that Brit was in rehab and we know that all random drug testing has been clean and now the hospital said with regards to drugs that "she is as clean as clean can be and has been for some time" K-Rap said something about Britney having PPD after the first baby and would need to be a moron not to see PPD again after the second. He saw the signs for PPD but used it to his advantage. Her lawyers are working to get her out of child support by allowing K-Rap and Kaplan enough rope to hang themselves. The court record is being made and the FACT that she has passed all drug testing is going to result in K-Rap being randomly drug tested and he will not pass. Her lawyers know what they are doing just wait till the fat lady sings.

3:03PM 01/16/08 Sandra

Her own mom said she used cocaine in the past in court docs and that she does not know how to mother the boys. Look it up. She said it in a deposition presented to the court. She's obviously mentally ill, but since she has not been examined how is Kevin or anyone supposed to know what she has: bi polar, post partum, borderline disorder. With her it can be anything. You guys say Kevin is lying, why hasn't her high powered lawyers made that argument and gotten her kids back? I'm guessing because they can't. If you guys, Suzzie & Jodi, have some information, you might want to share it with her lawyers.

1:39PM 01/16/08 Suzzie

Not much faith in the courts? or is it just this judge you think is not smart enough to see through the K-rap? Hope you are not saying that you don't get it. The main fact Jodi refers to is K-rap's claim that Brit is a drug addict. Most of us realize that is not true after many clean random drug tests. K-rap lied and misled the court and I for one know the courts do not like being lied to.

0:46PM 01/16/08 Brett

"Once the court catches up with the facts." You mean facts you have but not the judge? Yeah right. While they are "catching up with the facts" Kevin and this other guy will be cashing child support checks!

11:29AM 01/16/08 Jodi

Brett...Kevin did nothing about Brit's postpartum depression. Kevin did what was best for him......manipulate her untill the world believed that she was a drug addict or crazy. Brit was never an Andrea Yates because Brit has always had help from nannies and house keepers while Yates was home schooling 5 kids. While Mr. Yates took his wife to many doctors seeking help for her, Kevin did nothing to help Brit instead he made up the druggie stuff in an effort to hurt Britney and help himself to her money. My guess is he sat there dumbfounded when he received the text from Brit saying divorce and thought to himself, hmmmm no one will realize it's Post partum if I say she is a druggie...she'll have to deal with court ordered drug tests and monitors and parent coaching and none of that will help the PPD instead her depression will look like drugs because that is all the monitor was told...it's drugs. The monitor is no doctor and would not be capeable of seeing through the lies K-Fed told. I would call that "abuse of the mentally ill". I don't think the court will look kindly on it once the court catches up with the facts. I expect that in the near future Kaplan will have K-Fed claiming that he knew nothing about PPD and "inocently" thought it was drugs.

11:13AM 01/16/08 Linda

Brett you are 100% right. She attracts trashy guys because she is trashy herself. Pretty soon she'll be paying child support to 2 men.

10:59AM 01/16/08 Brett

Kevin did what Andrea Yates' husband did not do. He took his kids away from their loony toon mother before she killed them. For that he should be applauded. This new boyfriend also sees the road to riches is between Britney's legs. He's going to knock her up and get paid child support too.

10:04AM 01/16/08 Jodi

Linda.....In the Andrea Yates case many people wanted her husband charged with a crime because they thought he did not do enough to prevent the tragedy. Mr Yates had taken his wife to many psychiatrists and provided the prescribed meds. He had even tried unsuccessfully to get the doctor to understand that another med worked better. In hind site I'm sure he wishes that he had provided a nannie to help. But in the Spears case...it is clear that K-Fed knew she suffered post partum depression after the first child. Now think back to that time when K-Fed was out partying on her money in Vegas. Sure he knew a nannie was there but he did nothing to help Britney. He was busy embarrassing her with other women while spending her money. Now he certainly knows that Brit is not a drug addict. He scared her into shaving her head when he claimed that HIS pot smoking would show up in a hair analysis drug test. The court should begin to see K-Fed for what he is. He misled the court with the drug addict stuff and that is the main reason she has been treated so badly in court. When a person suffers from such a depression she is easily manipulated. K-Fed played all his cards now and the end will be that he returns the kids to her in exchange for his God, "MONEY". There are many reports of the night she held one kids but police claim that she was craddling the baby in her lap and that the door to the room was not locked. It looks like she might have freaked out over the bruises and bite mark on her baby which happened under K-Fed's watch. Given everything else he lied about why would she think anything other than that he would claim she caused the bruises. By the way..I am not a Britney fan. I am the mother of 2 (now 24 and 25 years old) and I am a person that does not like to see scum bags win at anything. K-Fed is a gold digging scum bag and he won't be able to get those kids back quick enough when the money talks. Britney did not relinquish her rights. The court took her rights away based mostly on K-Fed's drug addict stories. How many times have we heard Kaplan say that he will not ask for more child support? He won't ask because he knows that it is the job of Britney's lawyer to then say, "she has no rights to her kids and therefore we ask for zero child support to be paid out." K-Fed pushed too far. I was the Mom that everyone called to watch their kids when they had tuff days but as respected as I was at mothering I would not have delt with a monitor or parent coach for more than one day. Brit has been dealing with this for months now and the added stress is not helping her postpartum depression.

9:00AM 01/16/08 Gina

She should have thought of a lot things before she married him. I don't have 1% of what she has and I wouldn't marryy a loser like that...But since she popped out 2 kids she might as well accept the fact she going to have to deal with the guy.

7:49AM 01/16/08 Linda

Jodi...Kevin is not going to give those kids to Britney because she is an Andrea Yates waiting to happen. That is obvious to all except die hard fans like you. And some states don't let you relinquish parental rights to get out of paying child support. She should have thought about her finances before she married the guy.

7:22AM 01/16/08 Jodi

Linda...If this was a plan and K-Fed sees that child support is ending, leaving him to support the kids on his own income, I believe that he will pass the kids right back to Britney. This could be a win win for her...no child support and she keeps her kids. Assume that her problem is post partum depression made worse by all this custody stuff, I can see her lawyers in court claiming that K-Fed caused her depression to become much worse with his slandering of her with regards to drugs. The court would then look at the random drug tests and the hospital claims that she " is as clean as clean can be and has been for some time now". The whole case and court orders has so far been based on the belief that she is a drug addict but all drug tests say that she is not. At that point the court will not believe that K-Fed didn't know she was not on drugs. Court will see this as a diberate attempt to slander her and take her kids and her money. At that point K-Fed will be the one with supervised visits and random drug tests and no child support. And No I do not think that it is shitty to walk away from the kids for the moment if the result is she gets full custody and does not pay K-Fed 15K per month for 18 years. I would rather see her spend that money on the kids rather than K-Fed's pot.

6:37AM 01/16/08 Linda

How shitty would that be to walk away from your children because you don't want to pay child support? To me that says you hate Kevin more than you love your own babies. That would just prove what a selfish bitch she really is.

6:23AM 01/16/08 Tasha

Mary, I totally agree with you. But she knew all this going into the marriage. Everyone around her begged her not to marry him. He had a neon sign that said golddigging loser over his head. But Britney being a spoiled stubborn brat and wanting what she wants, and wanting it now made a colossal mistake in marrying Kevin. It would piss me off too supporting a bunch of broke ass relatives who sit on their asses all day. When she divorced him she still had a chance to get out of this hole. All she had to do was hire a nanny, stay at home and keep a low profile. No way a judge wouldn't have given her full custody and Kevin visits. She would have just had to pay that $20K spousal support for a few months and Kevin & his family would have been on their own. But we all know she didn't do that. She pretty much gave those kids to Kevin and guarantees she'll have to support him till there're 18. She's in this hole today because of the terribly bad choices she's made. She doesn't think. She made this too damn easy for Kevin. And she hasn't learned her lesson yet. This new boyfriend will pick up where Kevin left off.

5:13AM 01/16/08 Jodi

Britney's rights to the kids are suspended and in April there is a supposed final custody hearing. If by that time she has not had visitation reinstated then the judge will not have much left for options. I agree that the court will try not to terminate her rights and keep child support going but I think this has been a plan for sometime now. She holds the cards as long as she can deal with not seeing the kids. K-Fed has to be very nervous by now. As for those that claim Britney and planned do not go together...that's why she pays big time lawyers who go to court pretending that they don't know what she is doing. They are paid to fall on their sword in order to win the case for their client. I also read that K-Fed wants the grandmothers to have visitation rights....sure he does because he has to stay in good with the Spears because Brit named her sister as sole benifiacary in her will...no K-Fed and no kids are in the will. So if he is trying to push her to kill herself...he loses again.

10:11PM 01/15/08 Mary

K-fed has been bleeding her for all the money he can get. Britney supported K-feds family during thier marriage. His parents are divorced and they each had a house paid by Britney in the nice part of Los Angeles, Since the breakup, Britney has stop payment around JUNE and both homes soon went into forecloser, non payment. She has to pay for his lawyers to help screw her. (If that doesn't beat all). Taking away all parental rights will Leave K-leech to find a way to support those kids and not only them but the other kids he made with Shar. (Britney pays for that too). K-fed doesn't want that, he needs Britney's money. He doesn't have a Job. (court doc stated no personal income) Then who will pay for all them nannies,bodyguards,nice trucks and all the good things Britney at this moment pays for??

9:22PM 01/15/08 Tina Martin

Sorry, I meant "Need permission,, sorry guys,,, this whole thing is ust so crazy, I have to agree with the other blogger though, If it were my kids, my booty would have been in court defending my ass,, Isn't no woman loses her kids that wouldn't have a moment of insanity and run into the bathroom with her lil' ones? Agree?

9:17PM 01/15/08 Tina Martin

Doesn't she have permission and a good excuse to do this? Why isn't every dead beat dad out there saying "Don't want those kids, I PAY NO MORE!!! Right now there are men running from the law because they don't pay? I don't have a side here but it doesn't add up?

9:10PM 01/15/08 Tina Martin

Don't laugh y'all (lol) till you here me out! I believe that the court can actually refuse to relinguish a parent's rights, because a child has a right to know their parents. Am I right? Research this, ok??

9:10PM 01/15/08 binda

If Brit loses all parental rights to the children, this means she has NO LEGAL rights to them in any way, shape or form. She will not be legally obligated to pay child support as she has had her rights as a parent terminated. It's THAT simple. Once that's happened, she can go on to earn millions but K-Fud can't touch it for child support. Just like Brit can't sign anything medical/legal to do with the boys as she doesn't have the legal responsibility. She may well have the moral one but lets not get caught up in BS shall we? K-Fud doesn't want the money to stop so that's why he's being so 'flexible' and not suing for sole custody. Why would you bite off the hand that feeds you?

9:02PM 01/15/08 SugarBear

So if child support obligations are based on parental income and Brit has a reported $700,000 a month in disposable income and pays $15,000 in support that's like a bit over 2%???? I think she's getting off easy. The kids deserve more!

8:39PM 01/15/08 Carrie

The Britney Spears golden calf idol society are out in full force. She planned this? 3 hour standoff, police raid, mental hospital stay, custody taken away, restrained on a gurney. This was her genius plan? Oh and I guess the fact that she is a whacked out mental case who couldn't raise a potted plant, much less 2 kids has nothing to do with this?

3:45PM 01/15/08 Tasha

Britney and planned in the same sentence? Ha Ha. To plan something requires thought. If Britney does not get her act together, those boys are gonna start calling Shar "mama." Did she have that planned too?

3:44PM 01/15/08 Julee

I have yet to see Kevin do one thing questionable with those children.

3:13PM 01/15/08 Down To Earth

Maybe Britney has had this planned, maybe she wants to see if Kevin really wants the kids or her money. I have to say I think he will drop them kids like a rock as soon as the money has stopped.

2:55PM 01/15/08 Tasha

Knowing her, she probalby has already offered him a payoff. Kevin might want to live the high life but not on the grave of his kids. I don't think he's that low down. Other news sources says that he is also asking the courts to give his mom & Brit's mom visitation rights too.

2:45PM 01/15/08 Sheila

Jodi, Britney's rights will not be terminated in April. Where did you hear that? If the judge gives Kevin full custody in April and she decides to get her shit together in July and get help for her problems, she can request that the custody arrangement be modified. It's up to her. I know this because I have a relative who went through something similar. Her problems were drugs , not mental illness. I've always thought Kevin was a sleaze, but he's not going to let her around those kids in her condition. No one has talked about this, but during that 3 hour stand off, she could have easily drowned that baby while she was in the bath room. Not to say he wouldn't whore them out the way Larry Birkhead does Dannylynn, but Kevin's not going to sell those kids to Britney for a payoff. They might not survive the next time she breaks down.

2:32PM 01/15/08 cat

I am by no means a K Fed fan but how can you say all he is in for is the money?? Yes he probably sees that he will live a much better life with her supporting him...but if he wasn't fighting for his kids right now and getting them away from their mother who obviously is not right in the head what would you be saying then...what a horrible father why isn't he getting the kids away from her? She needs help plain as day and yes it probably is making the situation worse that he is taking the kids away from her right now but I know if I was about to lose my kids I would be doing every thing in my capability to fight for them and she is doing the opposite. I truly believe that K Fed actually has the kids interest at heart. He could be making a lot of money selling his stories and pictures of the kids to the magazines but I have not seen one picture of him with the kids since they seperated. Britney is the one that uses those kids for her own interests!!

1:46PM 01/15/08 letitbe

Jodi, if he wants her money or not she HAS TO pay!!!

1:12PM 01/15/08 Jodi

sheila...yes Britney's child custody/visitation rights are suspended but at this point they will be terminated untill the kids are 18 at the custody hearing/trial scheduled for April. I think it is clear that Britney is not going to follow court orders including having a monitor and parent coach and sharing custody. I think she is going to let the kids go to K-Fed untill he gives up. Watch closely because IF Nancy Grace is right then Britney has just found a great deal here because K-Fed does not want the kids to be raised on his income, he wants her money in the form of child support so that he can buy more weed. The day the court says Brit's rights are terminated, Brit's lawyer will be in court to reduce to zero child support payments. Days after that K-Fed will be selling the kids back to Britney.

0:53PM 01/15/08 Sheila

Britney's rights have been SUSPENDED not TERMINATED. The judge has kept the door open for her to get her rights back, just follow the court's rules. Until her rights are terminated, by her, by giving up all her rights & visits till they are 18, or by the court if she tried to hurt the boys, then she is still financially responsible. And Britney is the reason she can't see her kids, not the court. All she has to do is follow the court's rules. I know for her that a difficult concept to grasp.

0:34PM 01/15/08 Jodi

To Some guy...I agree with you but there are some differences. It is not just a lack of custody...it is a loss of all rights including visitation rights. Parents that pay child support have some type of visitation rights...Britney has no visitation rights not even monitored. Britney did not ask the court to cut her rights....This is the court preventing her from seeing her kids. I do agree with you though as I see many dead beat Dads (following this case) will be insisting on no rights and no child support payments to their ex-wives.

0:15PM 01/15/08 Sheila

Letitbe & Some guy: Jodi is smoking the same shit Britney is smoking. I don't think the police in my city have received the Nancy Grace memo, because they had a early morning sweep of dead beat dads & other warrant offenders about 3 mos ago. They arrested around 300.

so jodi according to nancy grace and company, all the dead-beat dads out there who lost custody to their kids are no longer required to pay child support right? or what about the fathers who aren't dead-beat dads, just fathers who don't want any involvement with their kids? i highly doubt they would be off the hook for child support. the only difference here is the gender of the parent involved.

Hey...As I have said in several ways now...I do not agree with the law but Nancy Grace and 3 other lawyers on her show were in agreement that if Brit lost all rights then she would not be responsible for any child support. Email Nancy Grace It sure makes sense when you consider that K-Fed did not go to court for increased child support while he has full custody. His lawyer constantly claims K-Fed does not want to keep Brit out of the kids lives although he claims she is a drug addict and crazy. And now the court says she can schedule another emergency hearing to reinstate visitation...after hearing the cops, monitor, parenting coach, K-Fed and his body guard testify about that night. IF Nancy Grace is correct and with no rights to her kids she will not be responsible for any child support then Britney now holds all the cards...Kevin can either raise them on his income or make a deal with Britney. She is not going to go to a deposition (skipped 4) and won't be agreeing to any parent monitors or coaches. I hope this is Britney's way of getting her kids without K-Fed. She did offer him money to go away. I for one see K-Fed as nothing but a loser and Britney as a girl who had it all and likely will again. See ya in April!!

Jodi, I am so with you about K-Fed only being in this for the money. And I hope to GOD and all things Holy he does not get any(more) money from Britney. I don't necessarily think she should have any custody right now. Eventually, yes. But those who are saying K-Fed is daddy of the year disguist me. Especially those on Showbiz tonight, Extra, etc. etc. He didn't give a damn about those kids when they were married, because he had her money. I'm sick of hearing, "Kevin showed up to court on time in a navy pin-striped suit" Yeah--the one paid for with Britney's money.

10:04AM 01/15/08 letitbe

No, Jodi. You are SOOO wrong. She will HAVE to pay no matter what! You are not understanding what so ever, and i give up. I can't make you understand.

9:52AM 01/15/08 letitbe

Yeah, Shawn, We know she likes losers and that is her problem, her dumb ass can't figure it out. I wish the courts would not keep giving her chances.

9:51AM 01/15/08 Jodi

Correct Tasha and that looks like what she is doing....walking away with no rights what so ever. Her rights have so far only been suspended but unless she convinces the court to reinstate her rights the April hearing will result in K-Fed receiving full custody and Brit will have no rights. That results in her paying no child support. K-Fed wins the right to raise their kids for 18 years on his own income with no child support pay from Britney. Very smart of her because K-Fed does not want to raise the kids, he just wants her money. If K-Fed asked the court for more child support now, the court would rule that she has no rights and therefore no obligation to pay child support. I do not like the law because I can see that dead beat Dads with money will ask the courts for no rights and no child support. I know of a case where a doctor paid child support through college and never called or visited his kids and cut the child support the first chance he had. Now if he knew he could get out of paying child support by disolving his rights...this doctor would have done that and no longer supported his kids. I don't think a parent should be able to get out of paying child support but that is the law at least in California. But back to K-Fed...Brit has dug her heels in and looks like she is not going to play the court game. If K-Fed wants child support he will needf to deal with Britney and without the lawyer. I think she was pretty smart because she knows that K-Fed can not raise the kids on his income without the kids ending up resenting him. By the time they are 12 they will request the court let them live with Mom Britney.

9:36AM 01/15/08 Shawn

So what Kevin's loser, that's not headline news. She likes loser men, look who she's sleeping with now. He's going to get what he can from her too.

9:31AM 01/15/08 letitbe

You are 100% wrong, Jodi. My sister's ex-husband signed over all the right, he did not want anythng to do w/ my niece. He did'nt even show up to court and he is forced to pay child support. He was a dead beat and the only diffrence here is at least that loser (my sister's ex) admited to my sister that he was not stable. The good part is my niece doesnt remember anything about her father. She is an honor student and very, very, smart young lady ( now, she is 11)

9:17AM 01/15/08 Tasha

Jodi, when the kids grow up they can also see pictures of their mom's crotch too. So what's your point?

9:07AM 01/15/08 Tasha

Jodi what are you talking about? Even if Kevin wins full custody Britney will still have to pay child support. Her 50/50 rights have just been suspended. If she followed court orders she could get them reinstated. The only way she could get out of paying child support would be if she relinquished her parental rights. Meaning she walked away, no visits, no nothing for 18 yrs.

9:00AM 01/15/08 Jodi

loo loo hon....I have 2 grown children (now 24 & 25) As I said all lawyers agreed on the Nancy Grace show last night that if Britney were severed of all rights to her kids then she would pay zero in child support. And yes dear considering the child support he has been receiving of 15 K per month...that is a lot higher life than K-Fed will have without the child support. That is why he and his lawyer keep saying that he does not want to keep Britney from her kids. Britney holds the cards now. She does not have any rights to her kids right now. K-Fed does not ask for increased child support in court because his lawyer knows the court will likely cut the support he has since she has no rights. Why do you think court has left open the chance for Brit to schedule another emergency hearing to restore visitation...unless she restores visitation the April hearing will severe her rights to the kids and end his child support. Believe me I can think of many reasons why this should not be the case but I am a chemist and not a lawyer so I'll bet Nancy Grace and the other lawyers on her show are right. If Brit has no rights she will pay no child support. Come on all you K-Fed supporters, isn't that what he wanted....to keep his kids safe from Britney regardless of the cost? I have also read that Britney named her sister as the sole benificiary in her will which means if Brit dies ( seems to be what K-Fed, Kaplan and TMZ are shooting for) her sister will get the money and not K-Fed. K-Fed's best chance to retain his support is to talk directly to Britney and make a deal without his lawyer. She ceratinly knows that in the long run her kids will insist on seeing her by age 12 and resent K-Fed for making them live a poorer existance than they would with Mom Brit. One day they would realize that K-Fed used them to get their Mom's money. They will read how K-Fed claimed their Mom was on drugs and how all random drug tests and hospital blood and urine tests found her "as clean as clean can be " of drugs.

Britney is responsible for those kids finiancially if he were to take her back for a raise in child support until the court takes away all rights and she is no longer viewed as a parent to those kids by the courts. Right now her rights has been suspended but not taken away. Like other cases out there in which a parent doesn't have the right to see the child, the courts can still make that said parent pay for the children. If that said parent wants all rights terminated and the courts agree to terminate all rights, then that said parent will not be finiancially obligated to support said children.

8:21AM 01/15/08 loo loo

jodi, you're wrong about that. even if she loses her parental rights - she is still financially obligated to contribute to her son's lives. morally and legally speaking. of course, every case is different, but that's usually the way it goes. if the law sees that you have the means and money to, they will they will make you pay child support. and are you being serious about "living the high life w/ brit's money'? you obviously don't have kids and don't have a clue of how much money it takes to raise them.

8:10AM 01/15/08 Jodi

Of course "The word victory is not something that Mister Federline nor his counsel would ascribe to the result of the court ruling today. There is no joyous feeling in this, this is a grave situation for everyone. At some point, it is Mister Federline's hope to parent the minor children with participation from the mother." Because as the lawyers on Nancy Grace all agreed last night....if Britney is to lose all parental rights then K-Fed wins the right to raise their kids...with out any child support money from Britney. I think she (or the several groups of lawyers she has had) is crazy like a fox. K-Fed does not want to raise the kids on his income. He wants to live the high life with Britney's money which only comes to him if Britney agrees to shared custody. If she has full custody..K- Fed gets no child support and if K-Fed has full custody then he gets no child support and has to raise them on his income. Look to the future...the boys become 12 and see that they can live with Mom and have everything or stay with Dad and attend public school and struggle for money. hahahahaha Britney is crazy alright she is crazy like a fox.

8:08AM 01/15/08 letitbe

Right, Tasha. What I don't understand is why they keep setting up appointments when it's clear as day that she does'nt want those poor kids! Why do they keep shoving it down the poor kids faces that mommy does not want them. Just leave the poor trash alone w/ her new boy toy and don't force her to go to court. She clearly wants to run around w/ strange man instead of being w/ those kids. It breaks my heart when I see those two adorable kids. So,so sad.

8:02AM 01/15/08 miss thang

Kfed is still getting the same amount of child support that was originally stated at the 50/50 court ruling. He hasn't even asked for a raise, in which if the shoe was on the other foot, people would be crying for Britney to order more child support from him. Kfed isn't the problem here, it is Britney. And yes it is sad when the mother of a child (ren) has her rights taken away because a mothers bond is deeper than a father's since she is the one to carry the child for 9 months and then for the rest of their lives. But for some reason Brit's mothering gene is being smoothered by her selfish gene. Its time for Brit to grow up.

7:33AM 01/15/08 Tasha

Despite everything, I don't think he thought things would turn out like this.

7:24AM 01/15/08 Unbelievable

Yeah I'm sure he cries every month when the child support check comes. The bodyguards and nannies are doing a great job raising those boys. Not that they'd be any better off with their self absorbed psycho of a mother. What kind of idiot claims she'd "die" for her children but can't be bothered to go to court and PROVE IT!!!??? Sad and disgusting all at the same time.

7:07AM 01/15/08 letitbe

I can understand why he would feel sad. That is the mother of his children & no matter how crazy she is the kids are being affected by it. Kids are smarted then what people give them credit for. So, of course he will be upset because it's affecting his kids.
