Britney Spears: Reworks her time with the kids along with K-Fed.
Since Britney Spears, a hardworking Circus performer is stable now, she will be seeing her kids...as much as always.
According to Mark Kaplan, longtime attorney of Spears' ex-hubby Kevin Federline,the amount of time they each spend with sons Jayden James and Sean Preston will not change, even though the lawers for the pop princess and Federline have reconfigured the details (i.e. which days of the week and time of day) of their existing custody arrangement for the remainder of her summer tour.
Reportedly, Britney was going to be in charge of her sons more than 50% of the time. When Kaplan was asked about the same,he said, "As a matter of fact, there was a lot of effort put into the arrangement that was agreed upon to make sure that, although the days might change and the hours might change, that when she has to be on a particular venue, the amount of time doesn't change."
Kaplan explained the misunderstanding regarding the time-frame by saying, "You have to look at the overall time and not just a very limited focus on a particular week,that is really just an accommodation to ensure that she can meet her commitments for performing and meet her obligations and desires as a parent."
Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon signed off on the deal, which was filed under seal.
"The whole plan and structure of the tour as it's related to custody was that the venues are in a hub...so that Kevin can be in that area [on] days where the kids are going to be with Britney," Kaplan said. "They don't sacrifice her commitments to a particular venue and...the kids, while the house might look different, the scenery might look different, the custodial time with the parents doesn't look different."
Kaplan couldn't yet say whether or not the agreement will apply to Spears' just-announced Australian leg of her tour, but he expects it to be similar.
"Whatever conditions existed before the tour, as far as when and under what particular circumstances custody will be exercised, they are the same here as they would be in Europe, Australia, anywhere—so the whole plan is to have the parents accommodate each other without making the kids have any kind of adjustment."
The pop princess has booked a new slew of North American dates to take her through September, after which she'll move the show Down Under.
