Kevin Federline Hit With Massive $117,000 Bank Lawsuit Just Months After Britney Spears’ Child Support Payments Officially Ended

Kevin Federline is facing mounting legal trouble after City National Bank filed a lawsuit alleging he owes $117,704.77 across three separate unpaid credit accounts. The financial squeeze arrives directly on the heels of the expiration of his long-running child support payments from pop superstar Britney Spears.

Court documents reveal that the 48-year-old opened accounts with City National Bank in late November 2024—the exact month Spears made her final court-mandated support payment. The bank claims the former dancer accumulated significant balances across a credit card, a personal line of credit, and a personal overdraft line without repaying the balances on time.

Now, the institution is demanding the full balance alongside steep accrued interest rates that threaten to push his obligations even higher.

According to the legal filing, the bank structured three distinct repayment deadlines for Federline’s balances. He was ordered to settle his credit card balance by August, while his personal overdraft line came due in April 2025 and his personal line of credit was due in June 2025.

Alongside the principal balance of $117,704.77, City National Bank is pursuing hefty interest charges on each delinquent account:

• Credit card debt: Accrued interest rate of 20.5%.
• Personal overdraft line: Accrued interest rate of 18%.
• Personal line of credit: Accrued interest rate of 7.5%.

The swift accumulation of balances reflects a sharp transition in Federline’s day-to-day liquidity, marking the second major banking institution to take him to court within a matter of months.

Mounting Troubles: The Earlier Bank of America Lawsuit

The legal action from City National Bank follows a separate lawsuit brought by Bank of America in March. That filing alleged that Federline failed to pay more than $12,000 in outstanding credit card balances.

An affidavit submitted in that case showed Federline opened his Bank of America account on December 6, 2024. That date was barely a week after his child support pipeline ran dry.

Records indicate his final payment toward that specific balance occurred in May 2025 before the account lapsed entirely into default.

The End of Britney Spears’ Financial Support

Under California law, child support requirements continue until a dependent finishes high school. For Federline and Spears, that milestone arrived in November 2024, when their younger son, Jayden, completed his high school education.

Federline’s longtime attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, confirmed that Spears, now 44, fulfilled every required payment up to Jayden’s graduation date. The former couple, married from 2004 to 2007, share two adult sons: Jayden, 20, and Preston, 21.

Busting the Myth of the Lifetime Payout

A widespread assumption among casual celebrity followers is that lucrative family court awards secure lasting wealth. Federline himself tackled that misconception directly in his 2025 memoir, You Thought You Knew.

In the book, Federline detailed that he received $20,000 per month in child support from Spears, as well as an additional $20,000 per month in alimony that spanned half the length of their 26-month marriage.

“People hear figures like that and think you’re financially set. But the reality is far from that. Raising two young boys in Los Angeles, while maintaining the security and stability they needed, came with a price tag that would make anyone’s head spin.”

Despite receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars annually during his children’s upbringing, the abrupt halt of those monthly disbursements coincided almost immediately with his reliance on new credit facilities.

With two major financial institutions actively seeking judgments against him, Federline’s financial management in the post-child-support era faces public scrutiny in the legal system.
