Pop star Britney Spears went ice skating at Rockefeller Center yesterday the day her divorce from Douchebag was announced. She has reason to celebrate and do a few spins on the ice: who ever is giving her divorce advice is one smart cookie.
The November 6 filing date for the divorce papers was deliberate. (Brit actually dropped the bomb on K-Fed by sending him a TEXT MESSAGE - classic!) It could save her $bucks in alimony since a 3rd year of marriage would have increased the payout to Kevin Federline.
The 'Toxic singer filed for divorce exactly two years and one month from the day of her marriage, on Oct. 6, 2004. Her pre-nup, according to legal theorists, carried increased payouts for Federline for every year of their marriage. They claim that this type of agreement usually has 30-day grace period and that 6 November 06 would have been Spears' last chance to get out of paying a third year of alimony in the settlement.
As of now Federline would only be able to claim half of Spears' earnings during their brief 2-year marriage and not lay claim on any future income from a potential pop comeback, reports Contactmusic. And Britney has been pregnant or nursing for most of that time so she's earned very little.
But will he get any alimony at all? Yesterday, K-Fed filed court papers seeking SOLE CUSTODY of their two children and is also seeking for her to support him. But if he doesn't get custody then his chances of getting any spousal support are between slim and none.
And those 2200 copies that sold worldwide since his album's release aren't burning up the charts. His rap career has officially flopped.
