Britney Spears is likely to continue paying child support to her ex-husband Kevin Federline, despite the little boy turning 18 this week.
The "Womanizer" singer, 42, will continue to pay child support to Federline, with whom she has two sons Jayden, 18, and Sean, who turns 19 next month, even though both of her sons now are legally adults.
According to Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, under California law, a parent must continue to pay child support until their child has graduated from high school, even if he turns 18.
"Under California law, child support jurisdiction continues until the minor child reaches the age of 18, or if by his 18th birthday he has not yet graduated from high school, support continues until he graduates from high school, but no later than his 19th birthday,” Kaplan tells PEOPLE.
"In this case, Jayden's child support is being paid in accordance with that law. His high school graduation will be in November."
A source tells PEOPLE that Spears is happy to continue supporting her sons in any way she can.
"Britney has plans for the boys' future and will do everything she can and continue to love and support them always," the source says.
