Kevin Responds To Britney's Divorce Filing

[Damien J.]

Kevin Federline agrees with Britney Spears about one thing: One parent should have sole custody of their children, with the other getting visitation rights. It's just who gets sole custody that he disagrees with; he wants it for himself.

In documents filed by his divorce attorney Wednesday (November in Los Angeles, Federline makes it clear that he's going to give the singer a fight. In his response, filed with the same court through which Spears filed for divorce, he checked a box that asks the court to grant him both legal and physical custody of 1-year-old Sean Preston and 2-month-old Jayden James, while allowing Spears visitation rights.

Federline's also contesting how much money each of them ends up with. He checked a box asking the court not to award spousal support to Spears, because he wants it for himself. As for how their separate property should be divided, he noted that he'll clear up his property and obligations in a schedule of assets and debts. Spears has petitioned for her property — including jewelry and earnings from and after the date of separation — to be considered separate from Federline's. She also asked that each party pay their own attorney fees, whereas Federline is asking the court that she incur all the legal cost, most likely since she initiated the proceedings.

A New York divorce attorney who's handled celebrity cases told MTV News that if Federline has to pay for his own attorney's fees, it's going to be that much harder for him to contest any of the terms, since the legal battle itself is likely to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Lois Liberman of the firm Blank Rome, who worked on Donald Trump's divorce from Marla Maples, also pointed out that unless Federline wins full or partial custody, he'll likely have to pay child support as well.

"The next step is that they'll have a sit-down with their attorneys or ask for a court conference," Liberman said. "They'll evaluate the house and other assets. And they'll figure out what restrictions apply to the children. Can they travel with them? Is he entitled to overnight visitation? Will nannies have to be present? Is she still breastfeeding? With children so young, she'll be considered the primary caretaker, and then he'll have to pay a bare minimum of child support."

Liberman also said it's unusual for the courts to disturb a prenuptial agreement, unless the payout is so low as to be considered "unconscionable" or if there's evidence of fraud. If the prenuptial agreement still provides a lump sum of $300,000 for Federline, any gifts that cost less than $10,000, and half the value of their Malibu mansion, as a leaked draft suggested, "That's very generous," Liberman said. "He hit the mother lode."

Despite owning half the house, Federline will still have to leave it, most likely. "There's usually what we call a 'vacator clause,' " she explained. "Usually between 30 to 90 days from the day of the 'trigger,' which can be defined as an event of marital discord, the date of separation, or the filing of the divorce petition. And once triggered, that clause is enforceable."

Neither Spears nor Federline had commented since Spears filed for divorce; their reps had no comment as well.

Federline is Spears' second husband. Her first marriage — in a quick Las Vegas ceremony in January 2004 to childhood friend Jason Alexander — lasted 55 hours before being annulled.

Society is so fucked up.  People in general live their lives selfishly with no regard to the serious repurcussions their actions have.

Over and over and over and over again time has shown us that when kids grow up with divorced or absent parents, they grow up fucked up.  All of nature is structured around male and female counterparts, and humans especially need both a strong male figure and a strong female figure in their lives if they're ever going to grow up properly adjusted.

People grow up and in their late teens or early 20's decide to have children, then just divorce because they're uncomfortable or they don't like the person that they CHOSE to be their children's father or mother.... and fuck their own children's lives up in the process.

How do those two little kids have even half of a chance?  They have everyting against them.  They come from a split home from before they could even walk.  Their mother chose a complete fucking moron to be their daddy, because she thought the way he did stupid shit and acted like an idiot was cute.  Cute ruined their lives. 

Do you think anybody is concerned about those children? Fuck no.  The kids are cute.  They like having the kids.  Britney feels she's more complete because she has children.  Well what the fuck do the children think? Isn't that a little more important?  These children are going to grow up with nothing.  Their parents are selfish even in their fight for custody; they want the children to themselves, they do not want what's best for the children. 

What's even worse is when people get joint custody.  Then the kid gets to live half a week with one parent, the other half with the other.  They don't have a home, they don't have an identity, they're just a possession passed back and forth between two greedy selfish people for their own pleasures while the needs and the desires of the children are cast to the wind. 

Children don't get a fair shake in America, this is just a public example of what's happening all up and down your street outside.

^^I actually agree w/ that.  Britney and K-Fed are both selfish pieces of shit.  They dont care about the children and thats very sad.
