Kevin Federline is telling all on his marriage and separation from Britney Spears in his new memoir, You Thought You Knew, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
In one section, Federline spills on whether the now former couple had a prenuptial agreement and what the financial situation looked like after they split.
Kevin Federline Admits He Had a Prenup With Britney Spears
Federline said his prenup with Spears was 'a pretty standard one.'
"When your life falls under the spotlight, money has a way of becoming the center of conversation," Federline writes. "Of course, Britney and I had a prenup, but it was a pretty standard one. There was no 'I want X amount if we split' clause or anything like that, because honestly, when we got married, I didn't give a s--- about money or any of that legal stuff."
Federline noted he was "head over heels" in love with the famous songstress and "completely consumed" by what they "had together."
"I wasn't trying to make demands or secure some big payday if things went south," he continues. "I didn't see an end in sight."
Kevin Federline Thought His Relationship With Britney Spears Would Be 'Forever'
Federline revealed he thought he and Spears were 'meant for each other.'
Federline admitted his lawyer, Mark Kaplan, attempted to warn him that he'd "seen it all before" and "Things could change."
"I thought: That ain't never gonna happen to us – we're meant for each other," Federline writes. "I really believed it, too. I think we both did."
"It felt like drafting up legal documents was just another box to check before we got back to building what we thought would be a forever kind of love," he adds.
How Much Child Support Did Kevin Federline Get From Britney Spears?
Federline was awarded $20,000 a month in child support.
So what happened when the pair split?
Federline claimed the court "awarded" him $20,000 a month in child support.
"At the same time, I was receiving alimony, another $20,000 a month, for half the duration of our marriage," he continues in his memoir. "A marriage that lasted two years and change. 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. The money didn't stretch as far as you'd think."
Federline explained a "lifestyle that matched what the boys were used to with their mother easily ran well over $40,000 a month."
