All Things Britney Spears Part 3

[FlowerChild]

In Kevin's documents, he lists his monthly income as $20,000 in spousal support. He lists his rent as $7,500 per month, while he estimates that he spends $750 per month on groceries and household supplies, $2,000 on clothes, and $5,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacations, amongst other expenses. His monthly expenses total $32,300.
In the papers, Kevin lists $56,205.01 as the amount he made in the 12 months ending on December 18, 2006 from his TV show with Britney, "Chaotic." He made $30,000 from Virgin Mobile and $80,000 from GoldenPalace.com in that same period, amongst other income. For the month of November, 2006, the papers state that he paid $5,400 for rent for SHAR JACKSON, the mother of his two oldest children. According to the papers, he paid $28,500 for Jackson's rent for the 11 months ending on November 30, 2006.

While mom’s away, Sean Preston and Jayden James Federline will play… and be pushed around in little toy cars by a random nanny person. See below. (PHOTO WITH NANNY)

Federline is hoping to win 70/30 custody of their children - and commensurate child support - from Spears. For now, though, his lawyers merely want $150,000 toward legal bills.
He's broke, his lawyers admit in the filing - his income totaling zero after business expenses, despite the $20,000 a month in spousal support Spears is already forking over.
Those monthly payments stop on Nov. 15, the papers note.

X17 Xclusive Sunday November 4th: You'd think with the custody battle still raging, Kevin would take some time off debuting any new relationships but after daddy duty this Sunday, he took a drive with his new mystery girlfriend.

Kevin Federlines bodyguard ran a stop sign last in Hollywood with both Jayden James and Sean Preston in the car. Obviously these two kids arent safe with either Britney or Kevin

Federline arrived on Saturday with Sean Preston, 18 months, and Jayden James, 6 months, plus a nanny, his mother and brother and two bodyguards, sources say.......


I am still looking for the other links I read - will post later today - he has I believe 2 or 3 nannies, several bodyguards, a personal trainer, a housekeeper and a nutritionist (cook) on his "staff". I don't think any of this is a "secret" or requires having "insider" information. And he is supposedly "broke" except for the child support from Britney (according to his lawyer and the court filing).

LOL! - I read somewhere that the bodyguards for the children are court-ordered.

Flowerchild ... Excellent posts!!

I agree.

Why should Kevin get to live like a kept man? Is there NO job out there for him? I'm not talking about a music or acting career, any job. He can't downsize into a smaller house? If he's not working, why does he need nannies? He is the better parent (at this point) than Britney, so I think he should have them. But I have very little respect for a man that won't work and mooches off someone who has worked hard for over a decade, crazy though she is.

And I have the same amount of respect for a woman who thinks she's entitled to the world on a platter if she marries someone wealthy.

After my above post, I went back and read the debate about if Kevin were a woman, all of this would be a non-issue, that it's a double standard. I don't know what neighborhood or part of L.A. Kevin lives in, but I've seen pictures of his house and it looks to be up to par with a lot of celeb houses. Can he not move into something less expensive? If he wants to stay home and raise the kids, then more power to him. But he's not entitled to a mansion. If he wants to continue on with the lifestyle that he was accustomed to w/ Britney, then he should work for it. If he can't afford his lifestyle on Britney's payments, then tough sh*t. Downsize and get rid of the entourage and staff and hangers-on.

In most states, the non-custodial parent (or secondary custodial parent) makes monthly payments to the custodial parent and these payments are determined by a percentage of the noncustodial parent's income and the number of children being supported and the income of the custodial parent.

If you go to this link (http://www.alllaw.com/calculators/childsupport/california/) and plug in the numbers of Britney and Kevin, you will see that she should be paying him way more (like $100,000+ a month more) in child support than the $20,000 she is paying now.

So Kevin is getting a ridiculously low amount of child support from her. Based on this reality, I don't know how anyone can call him money grubbing.

He's biding his time. JMO

 

[luthersmama]

Brit knew she was hooking up with a guy who was already in a relationship.

Kfed knew he already had 1 1/2 babies.

Shar had two babies from her prior relationship, plus 1.5 with KFED.

THEY ALL HAD FULL DISCLOSURE.

I am pretty sure they all had lawyers.

KFED and Brit had a prenup. She KNEW what she was buying into.


STOP WITH THE PITY PARTY!!!!

The money isn't what matters!!!

What matters is that those two boys need at least one PARENT!!!!


There is PLENTY of money to go around. What those boys need is a loving touch, a regular bedtime, good food, reading, cuddles etc. WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM DOESN'T MATTER!!!!

Where the LOVE comes from is the ONLY thing that matters.

 

[shopper]

You have a good point Luthersmama. And by the same token, kids don't need tens or hundreds of thousands a month to live on. I don't know how many people here make $30k a month, but dh and I sure as heck don't. We get by just fine and our son doesn't lack for anything.

Child support laws are supposed to ensure that the children have as close to the same life style as they would have enjoyed had the parents stayed together.
This of course, is not the reality.
That being said, he needs to get a real job just as a woman should if she gets divorced so she can support herself and use the child support for it's intended use.

But don't you think plenty of women would stay home and care for their young children full time if that was a financial option? How is what he's doing any different? I see sexism all over the place with this one!

I definately do and I would. I'm just saying that when people get divorced they have to understand that their situation has changed. When I got divorced, I had to go back to work in order to make up for the lost income. He can not expect to have the same lifestyle as he had during the marriage.
He needs to get a job because she is a train wreck and that gravy train can stop abruptly. What is his plan to take care of these kids. That's all I'm saying.

It can be a financial option for any parent, regardless of gender. Sean and Jayden don't know the difference between a 10,000 sq ft mansion or a 2000 sq ft regular house or if they do, they probably couldn't care less at their ages. Where is it written that Kfed is entitled to live high on the hog, and not work?

I'd be saying the same thing about a woman too. Nowhere is it written that a mother is entitled to stay home and live in a mansion, courtesy of her ex-husband.

I hear you, but honestly, those kids are financially taken care of for the rest of their life regardless of what happens to Britney.

Well - I take that back - she could spend all her money, I guess - hard as that is to imagine! I actually don't think Federline does live the same lifestyle he lived with Britney, but I guess that's a matter of perspective.

Exactly. I've heard of couples selling their marital home because neither one can afford to keep it without the ex-spouses income. This is no different. Kevin got alimony for a year, why didn't he invest it wisely? They were only married for what 2-3 years, Kevin shouldn't be entitled to live off Britney for the rest of his life for a meager couple of years. Kevin needs to adjust his lifestyle because while he is entitled to child support, he looks like a golddigger wanting to up the child support but not give up his affluent lifestyle.

 

[shopper]

Kevin needs to find a career or a job of his own. If Michael Jackson can blow through his fortune, at this rate, I have no problem believing Britney can (and will) do the same if she continues down this sorry path.

Maybe my perspective is skewed because I think stay at home parents should get gobs of money to concentrate on the most important job! LOL!
My only point is that if he has the financial wherewithal to concentrate on raising those kids and not working right now, I'm okay with that - plenty of people make that happen in their life and more power to them if they can.

In any event - and this is just perception - I don't perceive that he lives high on the hog.

As far as the entitlement thing - where is it written that a mother is not entitled to stay home and live in a mansion courtesy of her ex-husband? It must be written somewhere because plenty of woman do this.

If he was a woman...many here would be screaming gold digger....just like Heather Mills. Many don't want her to end up with a dime. Why is it any different with K-fool? I am not talking about child support. I am talking about the amount he spends otherwise. Look at the stats on the money he spent. It is in flowerchild's post. He is a male gold digger..just as Mills is. It was reported he was smoking pot the whole time he was working on that reality show. I really hope SOMEBODY gets a grip and does the right thing by those kids. I just don't want to be reading about them ending up in trouble or dead 15 years from now. They are the cutest little kiddos.

I feel like Kevin has a job/career in the music/entertainment industry - an industry he's worked in for a number of years. Right now, I think he's taking time off to be with his young kids because he can and I think that's laudable. I think he will get back to his industry in due course.

I hear you about Britney blowing through her millions!
