Britney was made to pay for 3 months of non-stop partying. Kfed will never work again and will live the life most of us can only dream of. He played his cards right in the last round, I have to give it to him.

Very interesting that Kevin gets the kids 4 days a week. I wonder if that has anything to do with Britney’s rehab and her ability to stay clean. I haven’t even seen her with the kids since she has been released.

Who would have predicted a couple of months ago that KFed would be the one to get more time with the kids?

ang on April 5th, 2007

$25 thou/month.oh my god. that’s more than $6000 a week. if i take 1 of brit’s kids, can i have 6k/week too?

If he only has the kids one day more a week than she does, he’s only taking care of them an extra 52 days per year. He’s getting $5,769.23 per day PER KID for each of those 52 days. I can’t believe Kevin Federline is going to be making $600,000 a year for the next sixteen years plus $300,000 for the year after that (he’s going to receive 9.9 million dollars of child support total). It’s not even as though he’s going to be doing any child care either, you know his mom’s going to be the one doing all the work, or maybe a $30k-a-year nanny. Well, jokes on us, America, Federline is smarter than us all.

well, it looks like he beat that pre-nup! almost 5.5 million by the time all is said and done with… That was a very expensive lesson for her to learn! I just hope she steps up and becomes “mommy” again!

LaMama on April 5th, 2007

Wow, that’s rough… and I’m not even talking about the money part. I’m talking about only getting your kids 3days/week for the next 16 years!

I hope she has learned something from this.

Callen on April 5th, 2007

ang! 4 get just one gimme both! lol.

Lola on April 5th, 2007

I believe Kevin was a good guy all along and the world got wrapped up in the tabloids. In the end Britney lost her mind and Kevin gains the kids and money.

Indy on April 5th, 2007

LaMama, it’s also gonna be ‘rough’ for Kfed to only see his children 4 days a week!

But at least he will see his children. That’s a lot more than most dads can say after their divorce. (40% of all children out of divorces, loses contact with the ‘other parent’, usually the father, within 1 year of the divorce)

Grace on April 5th, 2007

There is always the possibility that Britney really doesn’t want to have full custody of her children – and that she’s happy with this arrangement. Who knows. Either way I just hope that both parents will actually step up to the plate this time and be decent parents.

nmj on April 5th, 2007

I am sure she will probably regain almost full custody in the future if she straightens herself out. Usually in custody cases they will revisit the case in 6 months to see what’s changed. They always favor the mother raising the kids if she is able, responsible, competent and willing.

tink1217 on April 5th, 2007

brit can always go back to have the whole agreement with the kids modified later if she gets herself back to being the best mommy she can! I hope she does. Not that Kev is a bad father, but I just feel bad for Britney. She finally got herself in rehab and sober and seems to be staying that way, hopefully on her way to a comeback. I hope she stays on the straight and narrow and gets the boys more often later on.

Rachel on April 5th, 2007

I think it’s sad that everyone’s still bashing Kevin… ya know, he may be a nut, but clearly Britney lost her feathers too!

I personally think the boys are WAY better off in this arrangement than would have been if either one of them had been granted full custody and with Britney’s behavior over the past 6 months, it’s pretty obvious she didn’t really care… at least not enough.

If she’s having to pay him $25,000 per month, then that’s the settlement she agreed to. If she’s not happy with it, then she has a lot of thinking to do and a lot of behavioral changes to continue making.

gabriella on April 5th, 2007

I’m sure this agreement was made because of Britney’s behavior the last few months, she has looked very unstable recently. Or who knows maybe she wants custody like this, so she could have freddom to go out and hang out, anything is possible. I think had she not been so out of control lately, she would have custody of the kids and him visitiaion rights. Look at, Denise Richards, Pam Anderson, Heather Locklear,, all divorced but usually moms get more custody of the kids and the dads see them on weekends and stuff. I’m a britney fan hopefully she stays sober for her kids, because if she ends up back in rehab she could lose more custody of them. As it is, I heard Kevin has the kids still, until she proves she is better. She’s got two small babies, so I hope she starts thinking more mature.

Melis on April 5th, 2007

It’s not $25,000 a month total, that’s per kid. K-Fed is getting $50,000 a month, at least according to the rumor.

Michelle on April 5th, 2007

Personal opinion? Britney never wanted to be a mommy in the first place. She wanted the publicity a pregnancy would bring her. It was the second “accident” that did her in. I also think she was SERIOUSLY disappointed that JJ wasn’t a girl and that led to her “postpartum” depression.

JMHO

JoyJoy on April 5th, 2007

Wow that is what would be the hardest for me not to see my kids but 3 days a week that would be the topper. The money if I had it would be nothing to the loss of the children. I hope she straightens out and gets to see them more later. I hate to see a mom not have her kids. I also see the arrangment as not good for the kids. I don’t know how I would like to live half my week in one house and the other half in another house. I hope the kids are ok in the long run that is what is important.

Aura on April 5th, 2007

It’s a great idea. As a child of divorce, I would have loved to have seen both my parents pretty much equally. But my mother got custody (Which was fine. She’s a great mother), but I never saw my dad, until I was around 10, so It’s been difficult to develop a relationship with him. This way, the boys will have hopefully good relationships with both parents!!!

Grace on April 5th, 2007

I think it’s great that they’re sharing custody almost equally. I don’t buy that whole theory that children need their mothers more than their fathers or that it’s harder for a mother to be away from her children than for a father. Unless one parent is abusive or severely neglectful then I think children should get to be with both parents an equal amount. It’s totally unfair that mothers are usually awarded more time with their children than fathers are.

stephanie on April 6th, 2007

Michelle-

I disagree. While we’re sharing conspiracy theories here, I think she genuinely wanted her marriage to work and really wanted to be a mum, though not for the right reasons. She always used to talk about how lonely and sick she is of touring all the time. My theory is that she thinks a husband and children would make all her troubles go away, hence the Vegas wedding. It’s the she’s-never-had-a-real-childhood cliche, Kevin was her way to fulfill that little girl fantasy of the perfect husband and the perfect baby.

TracyG on April 6th, 2007

If Britney does indeed suffer from the effects of postpartum, then I think this situation is great for her boys. I went through Postpartum but only a small case. I was recovered in about a week and let me tell you, it was a week of hell!! Hormones do funny things to women after pregnancy and even my own mother thought I was “losing it” Once I got some therapy and some help, I was fine….

I just hope Britney gets the help she needs if that’s her diagnosis. I think of all the cases of moms that were diagnosed with PPD and what happened to their children and I cringe. At least Brit is willing to share custody with Kevin and do what is best for her kids.

The money issue though seems a bit extreme to me. 50,000 a MONTH? Most people feed and clothe two or three kids on that in a year! I have to wonder what the kids of celebs need that would amount to that much money in a month….it’s astounding to me! LOL…

I think we’ll see Kevin out more and back to his old ways now that the custody and divorce have been settled. Who wants to make the first bet that his mom or a nanny will be with those boys most of those “daddy days”

Diana on April 6th, 2007

Funny how she has to pay for all her partying but yet Kevin doesn’t. Seems like so many have forgotten all his partying and think he is this fantastic guy. He is a gold digger plain and simple.

Grace on April 6th, 2007

Diana: It’s entirely possible that she’s not “paying for her partying” but that this is what she wants. Just because Britney wanted full custody in November when she filed for divorce doesn’t automatically mean that she still wants full custody now. Maybe she’s happy about this custody arrangement.

ang on April 6th, 2007

LOL callen…if brit gets her life & career back she’ll be making millions more than kev anyway in the future (if his career doesn’t take off soon)so she’ll get the last laugh. i wouldn’t call myself a big fan, but i believe britney has tons of potential & i wish her & her family only the very best.

Tanya on April 7th, 2007

I think it`s wrong that Kevin Federline, who never really cared for his baby Sean Preston when he and Britney were together, but always went out partying and getting drunk, is revarded more of the custody for the babies than their loving mom! Yes, Britney has her faults and did stupid things that could harm her sons safety at times, but it can`t be easy raising your babies in the media spotlight,who blows every mistake you make out of proportion.. Maybe Kevin has learned to be a better father for his boys the last month with Britney in rehab, but he shouldn`t get more than visitation rights every other weekend. He can`t handle more custody, I think, and Britneys gonna miss her babies like crazy and cry herself to sleep, caus she`s a hands on mom that loves her babies and needs to be with them. Being with them will help her recover.

pink.lioness on April 7th, 2007

So far, both Britney and Kevin behaved/still behave totally irresponsible when it comes to their children. Now they share custody but in fact I’m sure the kids spend the majority of their time with either Kevin’s mother or Britney’s mother. At the moment it’s not the parents but the grandparents who raise those two baby boys while mommy and daddy put in the occasional appearance. At least that’s my impression.
