Britney Spears Harpoons Federline With Divorce Papers

Pop princess Britney Spears has filed for divorce from her second husband former backup dancer Kevin Federline.

The 24 year old singer has been married to dancer Federline, 28 for just two years and one month.

She has lodged a petition with the Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences," according to a court spokeswoman.

The date of separation was listed as Monday November 6. Spears requested that her earnings and accumulations from after the date of separation, miscellaneous jewelry and personal effects and other undisclosed assets to be declared separate property.

The couple have two children: one-year-old Sean Preston and eight-week-old Jayden James. Britney is reportedly applying for full custody of both children.

Spears did agree in the filing to let Federline have visitation rights.

She is said to have hired celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has acted for Angelina Jolie, Nick Lachey and Kiefer Sutherland.

Britney's first marriage to childhood sweetheart Jason Alexander in 2004 was annulled just hours after the wedding in Las Vegas. Spears married Federline after a six-month courtship in 2004.

The pop star has sold more than 60 million albums since she shot to fame dressed as a schoolgirl in 1999.

Federline previously had a relationship with actress Shar Jackson. The union produced two children, one of whom was born two months before he married Spears. Federline recently released a rap album, "Playing With Fire."

Spears parents urged her to get a tight prenuptial agreement in hand before the marriage. Federline will get half the value of the house, estimated at 3.5 million and a yearly allowance of 30 thousand dollars for expenses.
