Asking for almost 300k a month in child support is insane.

People had a meltdown when Kevin Federline asked for 25k a month. This is more than ten times that. It is nonsense.

I don’t think any less of him for wanting to stick to a contract he entered into 20 years ago. I can see why the wife would want to break it.

+1. He may be a jerk for other reasons, but this is not why. They had an agreement. She is welcome to try for more but he is allowed to stick to the agreement.

You can have such a nice life with what she’s being offered so I am not pulling out a violin for her.

A man is not a plan. That is for sure.

I think her argument needs to be, in part, that when the kids are with him, they live in a $125m house in Carpinteria, presumably where they attend school. It's the home she's lived in for the last 20+ years while she stayed home with the children and he left to play in a band and film tv and movies. He's proposing that she live on $38,000 per month in child support (and she also gets a whopping ~ $1m as her total net worth leaving the marriage ). A quick google search suggests that she's not going to find a decent 4-bedroom home in Carpinteria for less than $10,000 per month, and at that price, it is going to feel very different to the kids (and her) than dad's house. How do the kids not hate their dad for doing this to mom? I would - my parents are still married and my dad controls all the money and to this day I still fear for my mom. It's a bad way to treat someone. The cost of living in Carpinteria is very high. They had a traditional, old school marriage where she stayed home with the kids and he did whatever he wanted, but now that it's over, he's kicking her to the curve with relatively nothing (0.25% of assets).

The lawyer who allowed her to agree to this prenup, with no adjustments for length of marriage or number of kids, is to blame in large part.

I also agree that "a man is not a plan". I wouldn't want this for myself or my daughter.

I'm sure if he was a woman no one on here would have an issue so it shouldn't be a problem he did this. She is being greedy and devious and it’s wicked to smear the father of your children like this. He was very upfront and she signed that prenup. She comes across as super shady.

No she doesn’t. We all feel sorry for her. Even if we don’t relate to her because we have a career, she’s our mom, sister or friend. I’d fell sorry for a man who left an 18 year marriage with 0.25% of the marital assets, too. And if I were the judge, I’d throw it out.

Disagree 1000%

You don’t get to take peoples money they earned after 70 years of hard work because you banged them for 20 years.

You don’t have the talent, intelligence or hard work to earn the money you don’t just get to take it.

It’s insane women essentially want to be sex workers.

Wives and mothers aren’t sex workers. Give me a break.

If not, this makes him look petty and stingy to the mother of his children.

It’s the amount she asked for in the prenup.

He cheated.

Yea, that’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this works. If the prenup isn’t enforced/they don’t settle, the judge isn’t going to go - oh whoops, you’ve spent all your money on XYZ, guess there is nothing to give to the ex.

I did not say that's how it works, I was merely stating a fact he had leaked out there, of course the courts won't care about his financial choices. Any rate, this will hurt him in his kids eyes and career wise. I know (as a child who had a cheating father) that kids see everything and never forget. Sad situation at any rate. Never like to see things like this happen to children and I do not care how much money their families may possess.

There is a house for <$2M

DP. But he gave her 1M so these are all out of her price range. She can’t even get a shitstack in north Arlington for that.

You do realize that most people don’t pay 100% cash for a home? She can easily put down 20% and have a mortgage and go to work like the rest of us.

She can put a down payment and use her insanely high alimony.

Kevin has already offered to cover her home’s down payment and first 12 mortgage payments PLUS the million cash PLUS the child support PLUS all expenses for the teen kids.

He is worth 400 million. What you have noted is a drop in the bucket for him.

KC likely wants his heirs to get his money, not some gold digging layabout ex-wife to blow on shopping sprees, plastic surgery, and get taken to the cleaners by some young male grifter.
