Britney Spears May Have to Pay Her Sons’ Expenses After Child Support

Britney Spears will be she finished paying her sons’ child support soon — but her bank account may not be ready to fund the teen lifestyle just yet, Page Six has exclusively learned.

“I would say that under the terms of the judgment, there will still be some responsibility to contribute to certain expenses,” Kevin Federline’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, tells us.

“Regular, recurring child support payments would end, (but) there may be other expenses that she would volunteer to pay in certain categories, even after they are of age.”

Spears’ attorney did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Kaplan did not specify the terms of the judgment that Federline and Spears agreed to, but cited college education as an example of the type of expenses the pop star could be responsible for.

Spears and Federline, who divorced in 2007share two sons: Sean Preston Federline, 19 years old, and Jayden James Federline, 18 years old.

The former DJ had been receive $40,000 per month from his famous ex until their eldest turns 18 in September 2023. They then settled on $20,000 a month until Jayden becomes a legal adult.

However, since the youngest teen celebrated his 18th birthday on September 12, under California law, child support must end when he graduates from high school “but in no case after his 19th birthday.” anniversary,” Kaplan said previously.

We’re told Jayden will graduate “very soon” from his high school in Hawaii, where he resided with dad, Preston and his half-siblings since August 2023.

As for what Kevin, 46, thinks about Spears, 42, no longer paying child support, Kaplan says his client “appreciates the fact that Britney paid her minority child support.”

Jayden’s plans for college are unclear, but we’re told the teen is currently spending time in Los Angeles.

On the west coast, Jayden found Spears after years apart, with sources telling us exclusively Monday that the mother-son duo “have been spending a lot of time together.”

“Britney is delighted to have her baby back,” added a close source. “Everything is going in the right direction.”

However, Kaplan is hesitant to call the reunion a reconciliation, saying Jayden has only seen his mother in person about twice recently and it might take longer before all past issues are resolved.

Jayden and Preston revealed in September 2022 that they had distanced himself from Spears due to “emotional trauma” they endured and they wanted her to get to a better place “mentally”.

In August 2023, Kaplan told us Singer of “…Baby One More Time” had made contact with his children once again. They spoke to her on Mother’s Day last June.

The family law attorney, who represented Kevin since the start of his custody battle against Spears, now tells Page Six that his client “knew” that Jayden planned to visit his mother at Los Angeles.

“He’s very close to all of his kids,” Kaplan says, adding, “If the boys feel comfortable improving their relationship with their mother, Kevin is all for it.”

He concludes: “These two boys are adults. Kevin encourages them to make their own decisions and choose what they think is best for them.
