Celebrity Justice
K-Fed and Lawyer Cash In

Settlement means payday for K-Fed and his lawyer.
TMZ has learned under the terms of the settlement, that will become a done deal shortly, K-Fed will get more child support, i.e., more jack in his bank. Currently, he pulls in $15,000 a month from Britney. Under the deal, he'll get just south of $20,000.

As for K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, there's something in this settlement for him. Kaplan, who wanted a trial last month, will now settle and get an additional $200,000 from the bank of Britney.

And, we've learned the court has officially vacated the trial date, even though settlement papers have not been filed. So, no trial, and that's the real headline in this case.

P.S. Legal and physical custody were never at issue because of the conservatorship. The fact is, since last month, Brit has almost doubled her custodial time with the kids.

46. Federline obviously got primary custody of the kids. $20,000 a month isn't worth spit. Britney got off easy.... again.

47. That is no money at all. 10k/ kid with all the money she has. 240k a year is not going to cut it. She is getting off easy. If it was a guy it would be like 100k a month, look at Russel Simmons. That should be 25k/ kid at least.

48. No only will Brit support her kids, Kevin will get enough to pay child support to his other kid or kids with it.

49. She really got off easy!! In May 07 Britney filed papers with the court which showed her average monthly income at over 700k ~ 20k is chump change.

50. Amazing...if the shoe was on the other foot, everyone would be saying how Twitney deserves KF's money; but if KF receives alimoney and child support, he's a loser. What a double-standard!!

51. i think Kevin paid that guy Sam to drug Britney so he can go after the kids and the money. I think when it was revealed that Sam was drugging her and isolating her from friends and famiily it was known to Britney's family and police that Kevin was behind it. Pretty strange things are all rosey now. As a few months back he didnt even want the kids to spend the nite. You dont heal that fast .

52. It's just a matter of time now before Brit Brit meets Adnan in some restroom without Papa around and then she can get to work on making that little daughter she wants. Then we can go through this whole thing again with Adnan seeking child support. Britney is only focused on Britney, just like always. When will you deluded fans see that?

53. I smell a rat here all across the board...if this woman is so mentally unstable, then why is she back to work? Why isn't she taking some time to herself to get well? Let me answer that for you. Her own family and K-Fed need her up and running to pay the bills. She is nothing but $$$ to them. After all, she also has a little sister to support now, along with the baby and her fiance. The family has her where they want her, they are concerned about nothing but their finances, and believe me, they consider it to be THEIR fiances. I think her family conviced her to give up the fight for her kids and for they own selfish reasons...THEY NEED HER TO WORK. Do you think she would want to go back to work if she had more time with her kids? Let's look at is from the other side of things. I think she needs help, but I also think she is being held a prisoner. I do not think she actually had a say in this whole custody thing. She is now nothing more than her family and K-Fed's little puppet.

54. Everyone trashes this guy, but while he has those kids have you seen him doing anything STUPID with them? He has kept them safe, HE IS their father.
He gets the raw deal, though she was the one that went after him, broke up a marriage and just because she has the money
he's a gold digger. Open your eyes people--he may have his flaws but so does everyone and he has kept those kids safe and he doesn't go out without UNDERWEAR!!!! Britney falls prey to every gold digger out there---producers, papparazzi, etc-----she's just a talentless bimbo that has exploited by even her mother! She won't make it to 35---so let Kevin love his children. She's a lost cause!

56. Team Britney knows what they are doing. This can and will be modified in the future. SlimeFed needs to get a job and quit living off britney's money. He is a loser. BEST WISHES TO BRITNEY SPEARS!!!!

58. KDead knows how stupid Britney is and he is taking full advantage of her stupidity. Britney has never been mentally ill she is just stupid!!!! Dumb as a box of rocks!!! K-Dead you ride the Britney money train as long as you can.

59. K-Fed! I must say you are an inspiration. I am thinking of getting a few of the rich women in the
neighborhood pregnant. That way I can get custody of the children and have them pay me
child support. I wonder if little babies can live on strained mac and cheese??? After all
Cheese is a dairy product, kind of like milk.

Posted at 5:27PM on Jul 18th 2008 by I live in mom's basement and she made mac and cheese

60.
I don't see how it could have gone any other way with her still being under a conservatorship.
It must be still up in the air, whether or not, the c - ship will end July 31st.

Some questions, though. Since Britney is not allowed to make any legal decisions, did her father make the decision for her? Does Britney understand that Kevin now has sole custody, and what that means?
