Los Angeles March 19 (IANS) Singer Britney Spears father Jamie Spears is reportedly upset with his daughter s former husband Kevin Federline who called him pleading for more child support.
Federline has been pulling in $20 000 a month for child support for years but he now says it s not enough. Sources told tmz.com that last Friday Federline called Jamie and said he was in a financial bind and wanted to talk about raising his child support.
Jamie was suspicious and asked Federline where the $20 000 was going.
Sources said last week Jamie got a letter from Federline s lawyer asking him if they could sit down and talk. They did indeed have a talk and the lawyer explained now that 12-year-old Sean and 11-year-old Jayden have gotten older Federline needed more than $20 000.
Jamie pressed again asking what the children needed that they weren t getting. Federline s lawyer wouldn t answer but said his client needed the means to take care of the two children at Britney s level.
Sources told tmz.com that the lawyer repeatedly talked about Britney s recent successes -- particularly her sold-out Las Vegas shows -- saying she was making a lot more money.
Jamie kept pushing back saying Britney s success has nothing to do with the needs of the children and his daughter wasn t responsible for taking care of Federline and his other family members.
Britney has paid Federline a fortune in various forms of support over the years. When they divorced in 2007 she cut him a cheque for $1.3 million and he got spousal support for several years and continues to get child support.
