A lawsuit against Britney Spears’ ex-husband, Kevin Federline, for $15,000 in back school fees has been dropped.
The West Valley Christian School private school in the Los Angeles area filed legal papers last Wednesday to drop their civil suit against 45-year-old Federline, according to Page six.
Attorney Ron Chow, representing the prep school, has filed paperwork with the Los Angeles Superior Court to have the case dismissed, according to the outlet.
During the legal process, the court dismissed the case “with prejudice” — which prevents the school from suing over the amount in the future — and a no-jury trial that was scheduled for the future has been scrapped.
Federline is the father of six children: daughter Kori, 21, and son Kaleb, 19, from his relationship with former fiancé Shar Jackson, 46; sons Sean Preston, 17, and Jayden, 16, from his marriage to Spears, 41; and daughters Jordan, 12, and Peyton, nine, with his wife, Victoria Prince, 40.

Federline was married to Spears in October 2004, and Spears filed for divorce in November 2006. He exchanged vows with current wife Prince in August 2013, with the couple celebrating their 10th anniversary this month.
Documents reviewed by the outlet did not clarify whether the Fresno, California resident and his wife paid any of the $15,593 balance for their daughters Jordan and Peyton.
In its initial legal filing on May 9, the school said the couple had failed to pay “for services rendered at their special request and upon request on credit.”
The school said in legal filings it had tried not to go to court to collect the balance, but Federline and Prince “failed and refused … to pay all or part of the remaining balance.”
Federline and Prince moved to Hawaii with their children earlier this month, and Spears supported the move.
News of Federline’s legal course of action comes less than a week after Spears’ wife of 14 months, Sam Asghari, 29, filed divorce papers in Los Angeles County Court on Wednesday, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
Asghari has asked Spears to pay spousal support and his legal team upon parting, noting that the couple — who married on June 9, 2022 at her Thousand Oaks, California, mansion — had separated on July 28.

“There has never been any negative intent directed at (Spears) and never will be,” Asghari representative Brandon Cohen said Thursday, according to the AP. “Sam has always supported her and will always support her.”
Federline issued a statement last week through attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan amid news that Spears and Asghari were divorcing after more than a year of marriage.
“He wishes them both well,” Kaplan said ET. “If they reconcile, great, but hopefully it won’t be a factor that makes her feel more alienated than she otherwise would if she was still in an intact marriage.”
Federline “wishes her well and hopes she will be fine,” his lawyer said.
