Britney Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline have been at odds for years, and now, it seems like they may have hit another bump in their relationship. According to fans, Kevin is now trying to milk more child support from Britney, and it's all because he's moving with their kids to Hawaii.

News of Kevin's move broke earlier this week.
According to what Kevin's attorney, Vincent Kaplan, told People, Britney has "consented" to the move, which Kevin will make with sons Sean Preston, 17, and Jayden James, 16.
"It's an opportunity for Kevin and his wife, and the boys are ready to get away from the LA microscope," Kaplan said.
His motives seem suspicious to some.
Many fans believe this is an attempt by Kevin to milk Britney for all she's worth when it comes to child support. In California, those child support checks are normally no longer required when the children turn 18, which is coming up fast for the boys.
But as Page Six reported, in Hawaii, child support can extend until the child is 23 as long as they're enrolled in a college or vocational school, guaranteeing them five more years of checks they wouldn't have gotten otherwise.
Fans have been sharing their concerns on Twitter.
"There's a loophole in Hawaii where you have to pay child support until the kid is 23 (so long as they're attending school) … he's exploiting her for money," one person tweeted.
The legalities of the situation are a bit complicated — it's likely that Kevin would have to change the jurisdiction over the child support to his new home state, but it doesn't seem like there's much stopping him from doing that if he chooses.

Others think Kevin's running away from a lawsuit.
Just days ago, we also found out that Kevin and his wife, Victoria Prince, are being sued for not paying more than $15,000 in tuition to the private school their daughters, Peyton and Jordan, attend.
"Kevin Federline gets sued for not paying for the education of his kids and then decides to move to Hawaii where he can apply to get child support until Britney's boys are 23," one fan tweeted. "It is painfully obvious Britney is still trapped and will be as long as so many people depend on her $$$."
It could be a while before we see how this plays out.
The Federlines' move to Hawaii is set to take place this summer, since his wife was offered a job at a university there. If he does attempt to get child support until the boys turn 23, it's likely legal documents will surface to show us how this all plays out.
We just hope Britney has the right people around her helping her to decide how to proceed.
