As we mark Jayden’s leap into adulthood, another celebration is in order — Brittany Spears will still be on the hook for child support, albeit not for long. According to well-informed sources, the initial divorce decree between Britney Spears and Kevin Federline stipulated that child support would end either on Jayden’s 18th birthday or upon his high school graduation, whichever comes last. Jayden is expected to complete his high school education in Hawaii this November, thanks to an accelerated schedule, meaning Britney will continue to support him financially through October and November.
Child support was originally set at $20,000 a month but saw a significant increase to $40,000 in 2018. The adjustment was due to Federline having primary custody and the escalating costs associated with raising their sons. However, in a recent and unexpected move, Britney and her advisers decided to halve this amount without notifying Federline’s team, sparking a legal tussle. Federline’s lawyers contended that a formal court proceeding could potentially result in an even higher amount being ordered due to enduring expenses. The dispute was settled with the support reverting to $20,000 monthly, while Britney also took on the responsibility of paying a substantial sum towards these ongoing expenses.
On a brighter note, the dynamics within the Spears family seem to be improving. Communication between Britney and her sons, which was limited to text messages for a substantial period, has progressed to regular phone conversations.
Looking ahead, as Jayden nears his graduation date, the Spears family is approaching a significant milestone with both anticipation and optimism. The $20,000 monthly payments will persist until November, concluding an era of structured financial support from Britney to her youngest son, signaling new beginnings for all involved.
