Things sure seem to be getting tense between Casey Aldridge and the entire Spears clan. According to both The National Enquirer and In Touch, Casey was very specifically not invited to Sean Preston and Jayden James’ recent joint birthday parties. The reason? Things have been pretty bad between Casey and Jamie Lynn since she found out he cheated on him. Since she kicked him out the two haven’t seen much of each other – but when Casey found out Jamie Lynn was taking daughter Maddie to L.A. for the birthday party, he went ballistic.
He threatened to sue Jamie Lynn and mom Lynne Spears for $5 million, but said he’d forget the whole thing if she’d just get back together with him. Sounds like a great building block for a healthy relationship.
The former day laborer… claims she [Jamie Lynn] promised to take care of him for life, and he wants her to make good on the pledge, sources say. “Casey says Jamie Lynn promised him that he wouldn’t have to worry about working after their baby was born, and now Lynne is afraid that he’ll fight for custody of the baby,” a source revealed.
And when Jamie Lynn flew to Los Angeles with Maddie and her mother to celebrate the birthdays of her big sis Britney’s boys - Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden James, 2 - on Sept. 13, Casey exploded, insiders say. Right before the trip, “Casey told Jamie Lynn that she was crazy if she thought he’d allow his daughter near Britney when she isn’t even allowed to look after her own children,” said the insider.
“Casey reminded Jaime Lynn that before Maddie was born, she assured him that he’d be ‘financially set’ for the rest of his life after they moved in together,” says the source. “Casey told her that he wants at least $5 million. He figures that’s his cut of what the Spears family will make from selling photos and home videos of Maddie over the years.”
Despite the tough talk, the strapping teenager said he’d forget about the money if Jamie Lynn would just reunite with him, said the source.

That’s really a sign of maturity, level headed thinking, and good parenting right there. “Get back together with me or I will sue you for millions of dollars.” I’m pretty sure that’s the trifecta, and how you know you’re really supposed to be with someone for the rest of your life. Why the hell didn’t Casey just get down on one knee?
What a moron. I have no idea what in the world makes him think he’d get $5 million. Best case scenario, I’d think maybe he could get a percentage of any pictures or videos the Spears family sells of Maddie. But it’s not like he and Jamie Lynne were ever married, and I doubt he’d be able to get enough custody that it’d warrant a significant amount of child support. He’s either incredibly stupid or incapable of controlling his temper and just spouted off at the mouth. But I’m guessing it’s probably both.
The article also mentions that Britney wants Jamie Lynn to move to L.A. and stay with her. But I seriously doubt (or just really really hope) that Jamie Lynn would do that.
