Celebrity Justice
K-Fed to Brit -- Can You Pay My Bills??

TMZ has obtained more documents released in the Britney Spears and Kevin Federline divorce-- and now the popwreck has been ordered to pay Fed-Ex's legal bills. Gimme more!

The request was made on November 6 by Federline, seeking payment of $160,000 in attorney's fees.

The court docs state that Federline, perhaps best known as the musical genius behind "America's Most Hated," is "self-employed as a performing artist" and that "he does not earn any income."

The judge ordered Spears to pay $120,000 of those fees.

He will always get a large amount of child support - that is the bottom line. They will take the income of both parents, add it together, decide what amount would go towards the support of the children and then decide what each parents obligation would be. Even with a 50/50 split, there will be a higher support obligation on Britney's part. The disparity in percentages is most likely how the judge as decided what portion of Kevin's legal fees Britney is responsible for. Please try not to display your complete and utter lack of intelligence in the future - it's painful to witness.

62. Guess what people? It's the law and there's nothing any of you can say or do to change it.It's been done for years. This time it's the woman who is the breadwinner. So whine, scream and curse, but it is what it is.

California law states that either party has access to legal representation to preserve their rights, even if that means one person must pay for other's attorney.

63. Kevin needs to get off his butt and get a real job and quit living off his ex wife. How does he pay child support to Char Jackson with no money, let me guess Britney has to pay that also.

64. GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HE IS THE BETTER PARENT, HE CARES FOR HIS BOYS AND HE NEEDS FINANCIAL SUPPORT. THE "I CAN DO ANYTHING I WANT BECAUSE I GOT A LOT OF MONEY AND I AM A CELEBRITY" SHOULD PAY. I PRAY FOR THOSE TWO TODDLERS EVERYDAY BECAUSE IT SCARES ME THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN TO THEM. BY THE WAY WHERE ARE THE GRANDPARENTS? IF I WAS THE GRANDPARENT I WOULD DO WHATEVER POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE TWO BOYS WERE WELL TAKEN CARE OF BUT APPARENTLY THEIR GRANDPARENTS DO NOT CARE EITHER. SO I WILL CONTINUE PRAYING FOR THE BOYS AND THEIR FATHER.

65. No, the most painful thing here is you "Get Real" and your condescending entries. "Even with a 50/50 split there will be a higher obligation on Britney's part." Really?? Wait, let me get this straight: you're saying because Britney has millions and he has no income whatsoever, Britney will have to pay more?? Ohhh.... I get it. Thank you for sharing your vast wisdom.

67. He is not or should not be entitled to any lawyer fees after the divorce is final. He is also or should be responsible for any fees after he got what he wanted, primary custody. Any fees after that point should be on him not her. How can you say I got my divorce, and primary custody of our children, I am being paid a very generous ammount for child support and now I want you to keep paying for the lawyer I hired to continue to try to get more out of you.

70. Britney may be a loser but there is no way in hell she should be responsible for K-Fed's legal fees! That's crap!

Not a Britney fan here but come on! Like he doesn't get enough from the divorce settlement. I'd like to know how #12 and #13 came to the conclusion she's getting what she deserves?! She may have proposed marriage and he may have went along for the ride but at some point, he's got to stand up and take responsibility for his own life just like Britney has too at some point.

71. In legal papers it's reported Kevin has made 0 income in the last two years! No wonder that turd of a lawyer for Kevin has been playing dirty. Hey Kevin go shave those pubes off your face you big dirty butt.

72. I cant imagine the sorrow and humilation those boys will go through when the day comes they are old enough to read exactly what their father is and has done to their mother.

73. She is actually been ordered to pay 120 thousand ofthe 160 thousand requested. That means that 25 percent of the fees were considered by the court to be not her responsibility.

The obvious move on her part would be to ask the court to appoint a different lawyer for him. The reason, the present lawyer is overbilling by 25 percent. The other obvious move would to be to pay, then challenge every line item expense.

I can agree with her having to pay based on the California law but think it beyond fair that he be allowed to select a lawyer 25 percent more expensive than the court is willing to allow.

74. He is the King of Losers. And he has the kids that he can't even support himself, Something isn't right with that picture. I can't stand him. The trashy, can't rap either

75. IF ANYONE WHO READS THIS HAS NEVER GONE TO COURT OVER CUSTODY AND LAWYER FEES IT GOES FOR EVERYONE ALMOST. THEY BASE IT ON 2 THINGS, HOW MUCH TIME YOU SPEND WITH THE CHILDREN AND HOW MUCH YOU MAKE THAT'S IT AND I KNOW BECAUSE I MADE MORE MONEY AND WAS ALMOST ORDERED TO PAY BUT, BECAUSE MY EX SPENT 4% OF HIS TIME WITH OUR 2 KIDS HE WAS ORDERED TO PAY AND HE HAS NO JOB AND INTENDS NOT TO GET ONE. I AGREE WITH THE COURT ON HAVING BRITNEY PAY, SHE WAS SHOWN AS A DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSER AND WHEN YOU HAVE 2 PEOPLE FIGHTING EVERY WEEK ABOUT CUSTODY IT ADDS UP. ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE HAD TO DO DRUG TEST AND SHE MISSED SOME, ALSO A COURT APPOINTED CHILD WELFARE CHECK AND SHE MISSED 3 OF THOSE VISITS. I THINK ALL OF YOU GUYS NEED TO THINK, HE MAY BE A LOSER FOR NOT HAVING A JOB, BUT HE IS AT HOME, WE DON'T SEE PICTURES EVERYDAY OF HIM WITH THE KIDS AT FREAKIN STARBUCKS AND SHOPPING SPREES . I LIKE BRITNEY TOO, BUT WHEN WE AS THE PUBLIC ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THAT COURT ROOM, WE MUST RESPECT THE JUDGE'S DICISION AND ACCEPT THE FACT THAT BRITNEY NEEDS REHAB, REAL REHAB, AND ADMIT THAT HER ACTIONS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. WHY DOES SHE NEED TO GO TO TOWN EVERY DAY AND GO TO EVERY PARTY. LET'S FACE IT, IF BRITNEY WOULD HAD STAYED HOME AND LAYED LOW, IT WOULD HAVE COME OUT BETTER FOR HER. SHE AND KEVIN MADE THE DICISION THE HAVE CHILDREN AND WETHER BRITNEY LIKE'S IT OR NOT, SHE NEEDS TO BE A BETTER ROLE MODEL FOR HER CHILDREN, COME ON GUYS HOW WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR MOM OUT PARTYING WITH NO UNDERWEAR ? SORRY KEVIN IS THE SMARTER ONE. HE PLAYED HIS CARDS RIGHT
