Britney Spears’ Ex Kevin Federline Hit With $117K Debt Lawsuit

Kevin Federline is facing another major financial headache, with a bank accusing Britney Spears’ ex-husband of owing more than $117,000 across three credit accounts.

Kevin Federline is back in the financial spotlight after City National Bank filed a lawsuit alleging that he owes $117,704.77 in unpaid credit and overdraft balances. The legal action comes nearly two years afterBritney Spears stopped making child-support payments for their sons, Jayden James and Sean Preston, adding another chapter to the former couple’s ongoing public financial disputes.

According to reports of court documents, the bank is seeking repayment across a credit card, a personal line of credit and a personal overdraft account. It is also demanding accrued interest on the outstanding balances.

Although the accounts were reportedly opened around the time Britney Spears’ child-support payments ended, the bank’s complaint does not claim that the termination of those payments caused Federline’s alleged debt.

City National Bank Claims Kevin Federline Owes $117,704

The complaint alleges that Federline opened the relevant credit accounts in late November 2024. The repayment deadlines later passed without the bank receiving the amounts it says it was owed.

According to the filing, the overdraft balance became due in April 2025, followed by the personal credit line in June 2025. The credit-card balance reached its repayment deadline in August 2026.

City National Bank is also seeking substantial interest. The reported rates include 20.5% on the credit-card balance, 7.5% on the personal line of credit, and 18% on the overdraft account.

Federline’s legal representative had not publicly responded to the latest lawsuit at the time of reporting. Importantly, the $117,704.77 figure represents the bank’s claim, not a court-confirmed judgment against him.

Another Bank Lawsuit Adds to Federline’s Financial Troubles

The City National Bank case is not the first reported debt-related legal action involving Federline this year.

In March 2026, Bank of America reportedly sued him over more than $12,000 in alleged unpaid bills. Documents cited in the earlier report indicated the account was opened in December 2024, and the last recorded payment was made in May 2025.

That case, along with the latest complaint, has brought renewed attention to Federline’s financial circumstances after Spears’ child-support payments ended.

Why Britney Spears Stopped Paying Child Support

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were married from 2004 to 2007 and have two sons: Sean Preston and Jayden James.

The singer reportedly paid Federline $40,000 per month in child support before the amount was reduced to $20,000. The payments ended in November 2024 after Jayden completed high school, according to Federline’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan.

Federline later discussed the financial arrangements in his 2025 memoir, You Thought You Knew. He explained that receiving substantial monthly payments did not necessarily mean he was financially secure.

He argued that raising two children while maintaining their security and familiar lifestyle involved considerable expenses. He also disclosed receiving alimony payments following the couple’s divorce, in addition to child support.

Britney Spears and Federline’s Public Feud Continues

The financial dispute has unfolded amid renewed tensions between the former couple.

After the release of Kevin Federline’s memoir, Britney Spears’ representative said the book arrived after child-support payments ended. Spears later accused her former husband of trying to profit from her personal struggles, while challenging parts of his account.

Federline’s latest legal troubles are separate from those disagreements. However, the timing of the bank’s claims is likely to revive questions about his finances and the arrangements that followed the end of Spears’ payments.

For now, City National Bank is seeking repayment of the alleged $117,704.77 debt, along with interest. Whether Federline contests the claims or settles remains to be seen.
