What Celebrity Child Support Payments Can Teach You 2/2
Here is the second part of our discussion about celebrity child support payments and what you can learn from them when you are a parent in the Los Angeles area.
Working Women
Kevin Federline has never had the best reputation in Hollywood, but a judge did think he was most qualified to be the custodial parent for his two children with Britney Spears. This resulted in $20,000 payments from Spears every month.
What This Means For You: While courts in the past traditionally awarded women custody and saw men as breadwinners, this is not always the case anymore. If you are a father with physical custody, the mother of your children may owe you child support.
Multiple Options
Sean Combs has many names and seems to do it all as the man currently known as P. Diddy is a rapper, producer, entrepreneur and former reality star. He is also a father who pays $20,000 per month to Kim Porter along with insurance, tuition and legal fees.
What You Need To Know: There are many possibilities depending on your situation. For example, one parent may arrange to pay for things a child needs instead of paying child support or might pay a smaller amount because of this. Another alternative might be that the parent with physical custody could keep a house during a divorce instead of taking child support or alimony.
Your choices will vary based on your children's needs and how well you and the other parent can communicate and cooperate. When considering your options and trying to find the right solution, contact us for more information.
