Britney and K-Fed Settle Custody Battle
July 18, 2008, 10:15 AM PDT
LOS ANGELES -- Britney Spears has called a halt to her fight to
regain shared custody of her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, from ex-
husband Kevin Federline, according to OK! magazine.
Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told the celebrity magazine
that the ex-couple signed a settlement agreement Thursday, avoiding a trial
over the issues in dispute.
Federline will retain sole legal and physical custody of Sean Preston
and Jayden James, while Spears will continue to have visitation rights, which
may increase over time, according to the magazine.
The agreement will be presented for consideration this morning to Los
Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon, according to the magazine.
Spears remains under the legal conservatorship of her father, Jamie
Spears. She lost custody of her sons to Kevin last October. Her visitation
privileges were curtailed after her January hospitalization for psychiatric
evaluation.
Spears currently has monitored visitation with her sons two days a week
and one overnight.
A hearing in the conservatorship case is scheduled for July 31.
