That’s one less expense for Britney Spears. Since 2007, the singer had paid alimony to her ex-husband Kevin Federline, to provide for the needs of their two sons of whom he had obtained custody shortly before she was placed under guardianship.
Already, for a year, the eldest, Sean Preston, having reached the age of majority and his secondary studies having been completed, the sum had been halved, going, according to TMZ, from 40,000 dollars per month to 20,000. Jayden James recently turned 18 and his high school education is also finishing.
Several sources close to the star have confirmed to the American media that the singer will therefore make her last payment this Friday.
The sinews of war
The alimony paid by Britney Spears to the father of her children has long been a source of controversy. For the singer’s fans, who gave rise to the #FreeBritney movement thanks to which, in part, she was able to free herself from her guardianship, Kevin Federline was considered an unsavory person and, above all, greedy for profit. Judgments which have increased with the father’s regular requests to reassess the alimony upwards.
These criticisms even seemed to have been confirmed by Britney Spears herself. While she was engaged in the procedure to free herself from the influence of her father, then her guardian, Kevin Federline and their children gave interviews to some media. The comments made did not highlight the singer, her children explaining that they no longer wanted to see her. The interpreter responded cash by broaching the subject of alimony and their approaching majority.
Today, relations seem to have calmed down between the star and at least one of his sons, the youngest, who still resides with his father and his family in Hawaii. Jayden James is indeed spending time in Los Angeles, according to Page Six and People. He even reportedly stayed with his mother in her Thousand Oaks home.
