K-Fed's Money Ploy

TMZ has learned Kevin Federline was speaking to his lawyer about divorcing Britney Spears more than a month before she filed legal papers to end the marriage.

Sources say Federline was communicating with attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan, talking about divorcing Spears and angling to cash in on her fortune. Federline's right to money is extremely limited because of the prenup. TMZ knows the terms of the prenup, and they are not good news for K-Fed. We're told the only thing he'll get is less than 20% of the value of the couple's Malibu estate, valued at approximately $10 million, and spousal support for one year. We're told the support he'll get is less than $250,000.

As for reports that Britney e-mailed her hubby to inform him that she was about to file divorce papers, it simply is not true. Sources tell us that the couple has not been speaking for weeks, but e-mailing each other. She did not, however, talk about divorce in those e-mails. K-Fed learned of the divorce at the time TMZ broke the story that Spears had filed.

Sources say that at least for now, Spears will not comment on K-Fed's plan to fight her for custody of their two children. We know, however, that Spears sees K-Fed's move as nothing more than an attempt to score some money. He's banking on Spears forking over dough to avoid a fight; an unlikely outcome -- given the fact that she's represented by legal pit bull Laura Wasser. Also, if K-Fed got custody, he'd be entitled to a significant amount in child support.

I think that Kevin Federline is a total loser. He doesn't deserve anything that he receives from her.

What judge in their right mind would give him custody? Kiss her $$$ goodbye. What a moron! I hope CENA kicks his butt, and everyone stops giving him any time in the spotlight.

Kevin should have been saving all the money he received over the last 2 years from this marriage. We all knew this day was coming. I won my bet - I picked 2 years to the date..thanks for the $50.00 - Jen!!! He will not get custody of the children or any money added money other than what was agreed upon. If he does fight her he will be seen as an even bigger looser and gold digger. Kevin should go away for awhile and take care of his 4 children. Look for a job where he can make money. Remember Kevin if you never married Britney would still have nothing. Be grateful and move on. TAKE CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN!!

K Fed will just prove 100% that all the things people have been saying about him are true. The money has always been the target for this bum, and he will use his children just to get the money. If he was so concerned about child custody, why did he not fight to get custody of his children with Shar!?? Oh, and that will be another expense for him. He will have to pay his own child support for those 2, instead of having Brit pay for them! I am really loving this, seeing him get what he so richly deserves.

And, for everyone who is putting Britney down, if she is a nothing, why is this such a big story? Now that she is rid of him, she will make a wonderful comeback, and be the singer and star that she can be! Good luck Britney

He is a pitiful excuse of a MAN!!!!!!! Of course he is only trying to get more money. Without Brittney he is nothing!!!!!!!!!! I hope she sticks to her guns and does not give him a damn thing. 99% of the world thinks he is a joke. If I was him, I would be utterly embarrassed about all of this.But, it is obvious he had NO pride. I would ask Brittney for reasonable vistation with my kids and take what I agreed to in the pre nup and move on and try to make a nice life for me and all of my 4 kids.

He is such a waste of space, what a vile, disgusting human being.
He is a joke to everyone but still thinks of himself as a star. What is he going to do now that Britney dumped his ass?? I was thinking a man of his talent had a future as a subway singer pan handleing for coins. Perhaps New York.
