Celebrity Justice
Britney & K-Fed Officially Kaput

Britney and K-FedBritney Spears and Kevin Federline have officially divorced.

Just minutes ago, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge signed the divorce decree. Spears' lawyer, Laura Wasser, and K-Fed's mouthpiece, making the divorce final.

Spears' lawyer, Laura Wasser, made a motion to keep the custody and spousal support orders secret. The judge granted that request, at least temporarily.

Here's what TMZ knows: K-Fed is pulling in 15K a month from Britney for child support. He's also getting 20 grand a month in spousal support, but that's based on the prenup, and it appears the alimony gravy train will come to a screeching halt in November.

As for custody, we've learned it will stay at 50/50. It's amazing disso-queen Wasser was able to get a 50/50 custody split given Brit's craziness, which included wild partying, erratic behavior and a stint in rehab. This type of custody arrangement is typically reserved for a stable couple.

But all is not over! We're told neither Brit nor Fed-Ex are happy with the custody arrangement, and either of them can go back to court and ask for a change. On top of that, Kevin won't even speak to Spears, so they will probably be back in court asking the judge to make decisions about child rearing.

One more thing: There are reports K-Fed will go to court as early as this week to get full custody. That doesn't make a lot of sense that he'd go for broke, since our sources say K-Fed has signed-off on the 50/50 custody split. He may not be happy, but it doesn't seem he's ready for all-out war either.

3. Why should he get full custody......He didn't seem to interested in going for custody for his other kids.....Of course it couldn't be the money!!!!!!!!!!!

4. Why did Britney even have children? She could have waited until she was 40 like everyone else in the spotlight.

5. If she can afford to pay him $15,000 in child support she can afford to fix her freakin hair. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - fix the beauty salon drop-out weave and go to a professional!

6. Maybe now that the divorce has gone through, Britney can put the past behind her and start fresh. She has made mistakes, but she can still correct some of them.....for example:spending more time with Sean Preston and Jayden James. Those little boys love their Momma and they need HER!

C'mon Britney, shoiw the world what you're made of...and I don't mean by flashing.

7. I agree with #4. He could give two cents about his other children. Is it because their mother is not rich like Britney. He is a loser. Both of them are a disgrace to white people. My opinion ( Poor white trash).

All the money in the world can't buy you class. This was doomed before it began. How you get them is how you lose them.

I bet he doesn't want his other kids dummy.

8. #2- i am not fickle; i am objective which is something some of you can't seem to be. i never liked or disliked k-fed. on the other hand, i have ALWAYS hated spears since day one. my opinion as to who should have full custody of those children comes from the fact that spears is a freaking idiot, she's a drunk, a crackhead and worst of all, has serious mental issues. i am convinced she has at least a personality disorder. now, there are alot of people out there with mental disorders that can take care of their family if they're on the right medication/therapy combo but brittney is an epic fail in life and refuses help. i say good for her- let her kill herself. k-fed, on the other hand, can take of the kids better

9. It's the lesser of two evils!

Hard one to call, but I think physically, they are probably safer with K Fed, can hardly believe I am saying it too!!

10. If he's such a great father, why don't we see ANY pictures of him with the kids? If he has shared custody, why don't we see ANY pictures of him with the kids? I think the gossips are just blaming mothers again - seeing as they think it's a woman's duty to take care of kids and sacrifice all, while the men can hooker themselves from dusk 'til dawn...

11. Those kids are stuck between a rock and hard place.
Brit needs to get to work she has a lot of people riding on her, I would snap too.
It would not surprise me to find she is near broke in a few years if something does not happen for her.
House's, Hired thugs, Nanny's, Lawyers, K Fed, uggg more men to support!

12. by all means, I am glad to this hault that the divorce is final, now its the custody of the children, I am praying my hardest for britney to have full custody, who cares about kevin, he was only after for one thing, her fortune, so he can look good in the end, - what a waist - he is a waist of time in hollywood, I hope one day any other woman will see who he really is, and they will know what he is after - to all the woman out there, bet your ass and stay close to your friends / and family not to the losers

13. Why do you equate seeing pics of him with the kids as being a good father. Personally, I think the fact you don't see pics of him with the kids is good. Do subject small children to a camera mob

14. Ugh, those poor, poor children - and I don't mean financially! My heart breaks for them. Brit & Fed-Ex are so messed up. The lesser of 2 evils should not be an option for child custody. So sad!

15. doesn't that say something? normally, 50/50 custody is reserved for "stable, normal" people - maybe she is stable and normal, and what you see is her being goofy and being a person of her own... if she was unstable, she wouldn't have any custody... doesnt that make sense.....
