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.

47. I think Britney needs help very badly. Hopefully she will get help before she loses everything that she holds dear to herself. Come on, Britney, wake up and stop acting like a cheap tart.

48. JUSTA, maybe Federline isn't pursuing custody of his other kids because they have a SANE mother, and he has not had newsworthy issues in rearing his children with her. So, in your own sarcastic words, it probably isn't the money. Some men are REAL fathers.

49. sick of trainwrecks - i never said anything about kevin, i never said i didn't like him, i guess you missed that somewhere in your tirade. i said i don't think she is guilty of being a bad parent, which many believe. i didnt say she hasn't made any mistakes, all i said is the court would in no way give her 50/50 custody if she was unfit, and i'm sure kevin would not allow that either - so how am i being unreasonable in what i said? as for her mother, i am sure they will mend their ways - picture this - you a young mother of two, pretty much have all that you ever wanted, and you get into a disagreement with your mother, and she turns around and slaps you in the face - i'm sure many on here agree she probably had it coming (lol), but wouldnt you be mad, or would you turn around and go "oh, ok, thanks for that!". according your angry post, i highly doubt it....

50. I don't understand you folks. K-Fed don't need the kids or want them. If he did he'd have his other kids. And how many mothers are out there that party and mess up from time to time and are not on meds? Not to many but they don't get trashed in the news daily! Brit can be a good mother and if the press would leave her a lone she would be fine. It's also a shame that K-Fed is getting rich off of her. To me he's a dead beat and he should be the one getting trashed in the news because that's all he married her for and I believe that is the only reason he wants the kids.

53. Kevin is a piece of crap and really has no room to be saying Brit is a bad mother.If he can't financially support his kids then he shouldn't have custody. And not afford it off alimony and support either. He is no better of a role model either. What about his other kid(s) he has with his ex. The guy is a poster child for screwing anything with a hole and then bailing on the mother when she needs him most. When he got with Brit all he saw was dollar signs. I could see that a mile away. Too bad she saw it too late. He was a nothing before he met her and will be a nobody after. She made him.

54. I hope this wiil be a new chapter in her life. Now all she has to do is get ridd of the people that are helping her make bad bad choices.

55. How do you guys know he did not care about his other children? Ever since Brit and Kevin first started dating, they have been photographed with his kids. Even Shar Jackson said that was hard to watch. Maybe he did not fight for custody because Shar was not going around town acting like she had no sense. I would fight for custody if the other parent acted like Brit. Hopefully we all would!

58. maybe brit was having a bad day the day of the OK shoot all we got was their version , I would have a melt down if people constantly followed my every move and stuck a camera in my face and juged my every move id probally try knock them out , britney went to rehab she is trying you dont see her out and about falling down drunk or driving drunk she adores her sons and is a good mother. im confused how some of you think K fed is a better parent if Britney was not famous and had no money do you think KFed would still be around?? I think Not he is trash and a drug user

59. Britany should never be alone with her kids. She should never be allowed to drive with them. Brittany is a drug addict and she is out of control. Let her come and vist, if she is not high, but she will kill herself soon, so please protect the children.

60. Neither of these two are fit parents. Britney has destroyed her own career with her absolutely disgraceful behavior. KFed is a low class moron who married her for the money and 10 minutes of fame. He has about as much talent as a dead fish. He should put himself out as a male prostitute, because that is all he can do, wearing protection of course, because he needs no more children. Britney Spears was a cute kid who became a trashy adult. Too bad. She is talented, but has wasted it on her poor judgement of everything.
Those children should not be given to either of them. They really deserve much better. They did not ask to be brought into the world, and it is some world they have been exposed to.
