More court documents in the ongoing custody battle between Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were released Thursday, which revealed some intimate details about their finances.

• Federline, earned more than a half million dollars in 2006, mainly from entertainment and endorsement deals – but minus business expenses, he only grossed $7,436 that year.

• Spears earns approximately $737,000 per month.

• Federline receives $15,000 a month in child support payments from his ex. (The amount may change, depending on how much more custodial time he ends up getting.) He is entitled to child support payments until Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, become adults, since Spears is the higher earner.

• The documents also reveal that Federline earned $3,300 in royalties in 2006 for his debut song "Popozao."

Okay, I'm confused. Will the decision as to whom gets custody (whether full or partial) be based on who makes or spends the most money per month? These figures, I think, are accurate, considering you have a pop-star as a Mother and a.................as a father. Naturally, she's going to earn more. If this is a major deal in making the decision, then they may as well quit wasting taxpayers' money and order custody to Britney.
