A source tells People magazine that as part of her custody settlement with Kevin Federline, Britney Spears supposedly must pay her ex $20,000 a month in child support -- a hike from the reported $15,000 she used to owe.
The mag's source also claims that K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, has been compensated to the tune of $250,000 in legal fees for the case.
Britney Spears' settlement agreement forged with Kevin Federline allows the pop star to visit her little boys -- Sean, 2, and Jayden, 1 -- three nights a week, plus two overnight stays for starters, the Associated Press reports.
If that arrangement goes according to plan, she could end up caring for her little boys about 40 percent of the time, her attorney Laura Wasser tells the AP.
With Britney and K-Fed both having agreed to a custody settlement, K-Fed's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan tells ET that it's only a matter of time before the court signs off on the pact as well.
That will happen "sometime in the very near future," but not before the end of Friday, Kaplan said, adding: "Most importantly, a need to go to trial in August has been averted."
A rep for Kevin Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, tells ET that Kaplan will walk into court this morning with a settlement agreement signed by both Federline and Britney Spears. But the settlement may not be final today because the judge will likely take a few days before signing off on it.
Britney's attorney told ET outside the courtroom today, "Britney is doing really well and she will have the kids overnight tonight."
ET has confirmed that the final hearing in Britney Spears' custody case has been postponed until Friday.
The hearing was scheduled to take place Tuesday, but the attorney for Britney's ex Kevin Federline, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told OK! magazine that he needs more time to prepare for the hearing.
