Britney Spears’ ex, Kevin Federline, is reportedly asking for more child support money and his request has left Brit “angry”- according to a report in US Weekly.
A source revealed to US Weekly Federline has requested an additional $20,000 more per month in child support “to recognize the sacrifices he’s made.”
After Spears suffered her much publicised breakdown in 2007, the Piece of Me popstar was placed under her dad Jamie’s conservatorship and Federline was awarded full custody of their sons. Since that time Britney has worked hard on her recovery and the couple today split parenting 50/50, according to the source.
“Kevin has always allowed very liberal visitation. He has been very supportive of her recovery,” the source told US Weekly, adding Federline attributes Britney’s rebound and success in part to having the boys in her life.
Britney, who raked in more that $137 million during her Las Vegas residency, is “angry” about Federline’s new demands, with a source telling the mag, “She’s angry Kevin is asking for more money because she pays for everything. Those boys are her world. She is an amazing mother.”
The source revealed to US Weekly Britney feels as though she is also paying for Federline’s four other children he supports, telling the mag, “Britney feels as if she is paying for them also. His rapping and DJ-ing don’t pay the bills.”
“Jamie isn’t going to meet an outrageous demand,” the source said of Britney’s dad who handles her affairs. “He knows how important the kids are to Britney and won’t allow her to lose them. Jamie has assured her this won’t become an issue.”
