Spears, Federline Settle Custody Case

Posted Jul 25, 08 7:01 PM CDT in Gossip 

(AP) – Britney Spears and Kevin Federline finalized their child-custody settlement today, including a $5,000-per-month increase in child support for the pop singer's ex-husband. An attorney for Federline delivered the terms of two separate agreements to Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon, who gave his approval late this afternoon.

According to the agreement dealing with finances, Spears' payments to Federline go from $15,000 to $20,000 per month, retroactive to July 15. Spears will also pay Federline's attorneys, Mark Vincent Kaplan and James Simon, a single payment of $250,000. A hearing on the conservatorship is scheduled for Thursday, the AP reports.
