Britney Spears’ ex-husband Kevin Federline is demanding three times the current amount in child support.
The star’s celebrity divorce attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, has insisted the Piece of Me singer’s own representatives have not responded with “reasonable” conditions.
Kaplan told Us Weekly: “We gave them ample time and opportunity to settle Kevin’s child support modification increase, and they came back with conditions that are not reasonable.
“It’s their position that they don’t have to turn over Britney’s financial information, including tax returns, which is required under the California family code.
“It’s not California celebrity code edition, she has to comply... This is the choice they have made, and they will now have to deal with it. We are still open to try and settling this without judicial intervention.”
Kevin, 40 - who has Sean Preston, 12, and Jayden James, 11, with his former wife - claims he is “simply less of a ‘name’ and less in demand than he was in 2008” when the child support was agreed on, according to court documents obtained by The Blast.
The dancer gets $20 000 (R253 000) a month from Brit.
Kaplan said: “Kevin is asking for the reasonable needs of the children to be met, which is at least three times the amount Kevin is currently getting.”
