Britney Spears is not quite done with her child support payments.
The “…Baby One More Time” singer is expected to continue sending the payments to ex-husband Kevin Federline, despite the fact that the couple’s children are no longer minors: son Sean Preston Federline turns 19 on Sept. 14 and son Jayden James Federline turned 18 on Sept. 12.
She’s likely to provide financial support until Jayden graduates high school. As Kevin’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan explained, the reason for the continued payments has to do with California laws.
“Child support jurisdiction continues until the minor child reaches the age of 18, or if upon their 18th birthday they have not yet graduated high school, it continues until they graduate high school,” he told People in Sept. 13 statement, “but in no event later than their 19th birthday.”
As he explained, “The child support in this case for Jayden is being paid consistent with that law. His graduation for high school will be in November.”
