Britney's Child Support Payments on the Rise?

A source tells People magazine that as part of her custody settlement with Kevin Federline, Britney Spears supposedly must pay her ex $20,000 a month in child support -- a hike from the reported $15,000 she used to owe.

The mag's source also claims that K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, has been compensated to the tune of $250,000 in legal fees for the case.

On Friday, Kaplan told ET he believes the Court will approve Britney and K-Fed's settlement agreement in the days to come.
