A custody agreement was reached yesterday allowing Britney Spears to have gradually increased visitation rights with her two sons, while her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, will retain physical custody.
The agreement, if approved by the court, will avert a custody trial that was due to start next month, and that would, no doubt, have revealed more unflattering things about Spears’s behavior over the last year.
Under the agreement, Federline would get increased child support from Spears, reported to be another $5,000 a month, to make it $20,000 a month, and she agreed to pay his $250,000 in lawyers’ fees.
Right now Spears is allowed to see her sons twice a week, under supervision, and to have one overnight a week with 2-year-old Preston and 1-year-old Jayden.
If all goes according to plan (and when, with Spears, has anything gone according to plan?) she will, by the end of the year, be given an additional night a week with them.
Here’s hoping she defeats her demons and has the chance to show the world that she can be a good parent.
Madonna (gee, we haven’t heard about her in a while) has invited Spears and Justin Timberlake to appear in the finale of her Sticky and Sweet tour, scheduled to start in Europe next month – but, apparently, only on video.
