The article states that Spears will fork out a $5,000 a month increase in child support to Federline. Spears’ payments to her ex-husband will go from $15,000 to $20,000 a month, backdated to July 15. Spears has also agreed to pay Federline’s lawyers a single payment of $250,000.

Child custody is one of the most contentious, if not the most contentious issue, in a divorce. Finding an experienced divorce lawyer will help you save a lifetime of problems. It is always important to have your lawyer draw up a comprehensive settlement plan before filing your divorce papers, which can include a custody schedule. In Pennsylvania, there are two main types of child custody. There is legal custody, which means you have the right to make all decisions relating to your child’s upbringing. And then, there is physical custody, which dictates where your child can reside and when.
If you are dealing with a divorce and have children involved, you will be well-advised to obtain a custody order from a Pennsylvania court. The only way you can do this is by filing a successful legal pleading in family court.
