Britney Spears to continue paying child support for son Jayden after he turns 18
Britney Spears will continue to pay child support to her ex-husband Kevin Federline for their youngest son Jayden James, even though he recently turned 18.
According to TMZ, citing sources, Britney Spears and her ex-husband have agreed that she will stop paying child support for her son, Jayden, either when he turns 18 or when he graduates from high school, whichever comes later. Jayden, despite being an adult, is still in high school.
According to the publication, Jaden intends to graduate early from high school in Hawaii. This will happen in November, and until then, Britney Spears will be forced to pay child support for his maintenance. Initially, as reported in the press, the singer paid her ex-husband 20 thousand dollars a month, but in 2018 this amount was doubled, because the children were completely in the care of Britney Spears' ex-husband. But last month, the singer decided to pay only 20 thousand dollars again, since her eldest son Preston turned 18.
It is worth noting that Britney Spears has a very complicated relationship with her sons - she has two of them: 18-year-old Jayden and 18-year-old Preston. In 2022, Jayden publicly criticized his mother, saying that she treated them differently and they felt it. And in 2023, it was reported that Britney Spears had not communicated with her children for over a year and they stopped responding to her messages. However, in June of this year, it became known that her sons congratulated her on Mother's Day.
Let us recall that after a nervous breakdown in 2008, Britney Spears fell under the guardianship of her father, who controlled her completely. The singer was able to free herself from his guardianship only 13 years later.
