Celebrity Justice
What K-Fed Really Wants from Britney

Posted Aug 13th 2007 11:20AM by TMZ Staff

Sources connected with the custody battle between Britney Spears and Kevin Federline tell TMZ $$$$ may really be at the heart of the tussle over the kids.

As we first reported, K-Fed is going back to court asking for more custody of the kids. Federline just agreed to a 50/50 split. Then, he turned around almost immediately and filed papers asking for 70/30. So why such a sudden change of heart?

It's puzzling that Kevin is suddenly alarmed, given that he's had absolutely no contact with Spears for almost three months. In fact, we're told she's begging him to communicate because of parenting issues but he won't play ball.

That brings us to the paperwork Federline filed. Sources say there are declarations from Kevin, both of his lawyers, Kevin's nanny and a nanny who interviewed with Britney in October, 2006, before the couple separated. In the papers, Federline's lawyer also included various magazine articles about Britney. Legal experts say good luck getting that into evidence.

Alli Sims, Britney's cousin, was served over the weekend. Kevin's lawyer wants to take her deposition. Now here's what's telling. Federline's lawyer also wants to take Britney's depo, but a source connected with Alli says the deposition notice Britney received is all financial -- in other words, the references are all about money, not the kids.


So does K-Fed want more custody just so he can get more cash? A Federline source says it's all about the kids and not money. Federline wants Britney under oath talking about whether she drinks and how she parents the kids.

Oh, and by the way: Kev's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, is asking that Britney pay his legal fees for the hearing and preparation -- and that they're in the six figures.

2. Mark Vincent Kaplan is WAY overpriced and Britney would be wise to have a third party audit firm look over his invoices, IMHO.

3. I'd ask her to pay the bill too! KFED has given this piece of work more then enough time to get her chit together but she can't, no even for the sake of her boys. GO KFED, GET THEM BABIES AWAY FROM THAT TRAINWRECK!

4. I don't understand why child services hasn't taken these kids away from Brit & Kevin. They are both self centered, immature people who don't value the children as the gifts that they are. They didn't ask to be here...why don't they have a guardian ad litum appointed by the courts at least?

5. Oh, brother. Is there any doubt that poor Britney is the cash cow to Federline's desire to get the kids. This is so sad. Kevin needs to get a job. And Kevin's attorney is an ass. If his client can't pay the legal fees, the attorney should be required to go pro bono. If the attorney accepts a case from someone who can't pay, then that is the attorney's choice.

6. Mark Vincent Kaplan is a Media Whore, IMHO.

7. Dumb biatch! You don't have to touch it, to get served. She is as stupid as Britney. Kevin's case doesn't sound too promising. News articles aren't evidence, unfortunately.

8. POOR KIDS!!! K-FED AND BRIT DESERVE EACH OTHER; THEY SOULD FRY IN HELL

9. I would guess that Mark Vincent Kaplan has a legitimate law degree from a registered law school and has registered to get a license to practice law with the state of California, but it's always wise to check these days.

10. Mark Vincent Kaplan is an angel of mercy and by helping K-Fed he has been able to finally buy that beach house he has always wanted. Which is only what he deserves.

13. "...,Kevin's nanny, ..."


Kevin has a nanny? I know that he dresses like a 10-year old, but does he also need adult supervision?

15. K-Fed is a male gold-digger. They agreed to a 50/50 deal for custody, which is fair. And if money had nothing to do with this, then he should be happy as a father to raise their kids as well....on his own income. Instead, he and his lawyer are doing what they can to make it so he gets more custody, thus more rights to ask for support. Loser! K-fed must have realized he ain't going to make it on his supposed singing career....his last CD tanked. Maybe he can make his money, if he can't squeeze more of it out of Britney, by being a male "escort". He's been shot working it up with women in the club scene since they divorced, maybe he can make a career out of it.

And his lawyer wants Britney to pay for HIS expenses....he's a piece of work. She should tell him to shove in any of his orifices he can fit it in.
