31. obviously i expected him to fight for his children. I think anybody would. But then when I read he also wants spousal support that made me sooo mad. why cant these two just sit down and TALK! they should just give kevin joint custody, that'll shut him up, and i highly doubt he'll even be invovled in the kids lives so it wouldnt matter if brit got joint or sole custody

32. Please............Why must we hear about this K-Fed? He got all he could out of her I'm sure, so be glad you got that and move on.

I feel sorry for the children, not only the latest ones, but the other ones from that mess he caused.

33. Brittney Spears and Whitney Houston should be named 'WOMEN OF THE YEAR" for finally getting rid of those "scrubs" they called their husbands. Maybe Bobby Brown and K-Fed can do a "rap" song together. Brittney and Whitney....you go girls". When all else fails, call "Madea". she will deal with Bobby and K-Fed l as if they stole her purse. May the Peace of the Lord be with you both and your families.

34. In my opinion it is soooo obvious!!! He left a woman who was pregnant with his second child for Brit (which also doesn't say alot about "her" character) and I seriously doubt he has been involved with his two children from Shar except for perhaps Brit footing the bill for child support and/or involving them in her married life with schmuck. And now he had the audacity to try to get custody, spousal support AND her pay his attorney fees....wow.....This heffa better start lookin around real good and perhaps hire someone to help him find his mind...cuz he done lost it!!!!

36. There are a few things in that response that makes me question this fool's sanity.

1. When he abandoned his first child, and the pregnant mother of his second child to shack up with Britney, he all but shouted out to the world that money and fame were more important than his familial responsibilities. His having his wife pay for his child support for those kids only further proved that he wasn't a responsible parent. To ask for custody of the two children he has with Britney is nothing but a ploy to get more money to continue his quest for fame. Thing is, for him, even notoriety couldn't make him famous enough to sell more albums than Paris Hilton.

2. He's asking for his wife to pay for his legal fees. This is typically a common request, especially in divorce proceedings, but if the information about the prenup is correct, he knows that there's no way a judge can vacate that agreement, and this is just a desperate attempt at trying to keep whatever money he will get from said prenup.

3. Again, if the prenup rumors are true, he's going to have to fight with the devil himself in order to get spousal support that goes beyond the orignally agreed amount. Since California law says that both parties have to split any earnings brought in during the marriage, and the only real earnings made were from the selling of the "chaotic" series since Britney hasn't done any touring, made any albums, or...well...anything, Fed-Ex will be leaving with pretty much his sneakers, since he's already blown a great deal of that money on his soon-to-be-pawned bling, and a his sidekick.

4. Did he actually think the judge would believe him capable of providing spousal support? As if marking that box was necessary! That gave me more laughs than reading about the divorce! This fool is so deluded, he's two hammers shy of a whack a mole.

5. He has the penmanship of a serial killer. I thought he kind of reminded me of Ted Bundy, but it wasn't until I saw his John Hancock that it was all confirmed. If I were Britney, I'd move somewhere where she'll get lost in the crowd...like Kentucky.

37. I doubt that any of you would do any differently if your wife suddenly filed for divorce without warning. Would you just give up your kids and walk away? Anyone who gave a damn about their children would be sure their lawyer tried to get them custody of their own kids. He may not have been the perfect father but Britney was a careless and negligent mother. The childcare protection investigators had to go to our home twice because of neglectful mothering. Just because y'all hate Kevin you cannot be naiive enough to think he is just going to say: well it was nice knowing you...cya. No one in his right mind would give up the fight..no matter what his intentions.

38. I hope like hell that Brittney stands her ground and does not cave to his outlandish request. Do not offer him anymore money and make him spend all of his pre nup money on attorney's trying to fight for custody of her kids! Then the world will be rid of his no talent ass! However, I do think she owes the world an apology for putting him out there for all to see!!!!!!!! LOL

BTW, what kind of man who has any amount of pride ask a woman for money? He is suck a f ing LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

40. This scumbag is just doing this for the money. If he wants his kids so bad why didn't he fight Shar Jackson for those kids - it is because she dosn't have the money Britney has. He is the biggest scumbag on the planet. You can be a scumbag with money and that is exactly what he is. Trailer park trash. If I were his kids with Shar Jackson, I would be outraged. He is soooo ugly and disgusting it is beyond my comprehension (and I am very very smart) what anyone would see in this person. He should never be allowed to reproduce. EVER!!!!

41. of course that LOSER wants custody of those kids...that way he can also get MEGA support $$ from a newly wised up (THANK GOD!) Britney. I am so glad that she had the sense to get an ironclad prenup from that wanna be black idiot. Instead of an "F" tatooed on his forearm..he should have had a big "L" for LOSER!!! Rapper indeed...WTH

42. The loser's lawyer says that the loser will do "...whatever is necessary to protect and safeguard the children."

Does this mean he'll lock himself up and throw away the key?

43. Kathy, anyone with any semblance of integrity would do the right thing by their children. Obviously, you were thinking of someone else when writing that post, because Fed-Ex is the antithesis of just that.

Someone in their right mind would do the right thing, not instigate a custodial battle in order to get more money. He's using his children as pawns. No one in their right mind would do something like that because, since it has obviously slipped your mind, they ARE in their right mind, and not in some alcohol induced stupor that is Fed-ex.

44. Fact is I believe it is just a ploy asking for spousal support if Brit has an airtight prenup. I think he is hoping mainly for custody so he will get an astronomical amount of $$ for the kids.
Also Daisy where do you get the info re: K's signature??? Do you have personal knowledge on signature analysis?? And Miss Kathy, I understand there are two sides to every story....however all the info in the tabloids and Brit being investigated etc due to being in the public eye are perhaps things any of us could be looked at for if someone was following our every movement 24/7. I'm not judging I just believe none of us are perfect and as I stated earlier in my post her getting with him when he was involved with Shar who was pregnant is not somethng to be very proud of either...but at least she is moving on and away from this attention/spotlight seeker.

45. The pre-nup will be re-visited if she has changed it within in the marraige and d because of the kids. He is getting support to the tune of 300k; he probably wants that extra 30K, but there should be a 30 grace period for the 1 yr of payment to reconcile the 2-yr marriage. This is mainly anger. Fool and his attorney know that he is not going to get sheot he WANTS. He is about to get nasty, release a sex-tape, and say she is a drug-head who drops the kids all over the house and street. He really should be graceful, but he wasn't with Shar Jackson, so, why expect anything different now. He is thinking of how he is being trashed now, and how he will not get in to anymore fly parties. I felt sorry for Chis Judd (J-Lo) for I don't think he was not after her money, this dude was and he will be a joke from now on... He also gets half of the 7 million dollar house. He should be happy. I could live off of 3-4 million the rest of my life. Get a job MaF***a.
