Britney Spears has settled an unpaid tax bill.
The Circus singer and her ex-husband Kevin Federline - who share two sons Sean Preston, seven, and Jayden James, six, - have reportedly paid off their US $37,712 income tax debt, which they both owed from 2004 when they first married.
According to gossip website TMZ.com, the former couple - who divorced in 2007 after three years of marriage - have resolved the debt which was filed against them last month by the State of California.
It is unclear whether the 31-year-old singer - who recently completed her first season as a judge on The X Factor USA for which she earned US $15 million - paid the entire bill herself.
Meanwhile the Federline family are said to be "very concerned" after an infamous hoaxer called Jonathan Lee Riches pretended to be the singer's ex brother-in-law Christopher Federline and filed court documents in Florida seeking a restraining order against her and claiming he was the "true father" of her son Sean Preston.
