Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are making some major changes to their child custody agreement — and it’s all for the best for their two boys!
Newly filed court docs reveal the pair has formally agreed for Kevin to retain custody of the couple’s two sons 70% of the time. That’s actually been the informal agreement between the pair for a year now, but they were waiting to see how it worked before finalizing it. And good news — it worked!

According to TMZ, the ex-couple made it official last week, filing the court documents on August 28 to ensure the 70-30 split in favor of Federline would be legally binding for them going forward. It’s what works for 12-year-old Jayden and 13-year-old Sean, and it’s apparently what’s been working for mom and dad, too, so might as well make it official!
This is a major shift away from the pair’s previous legal agreement, that had been split down the middle — 50-50 custody, with each one getting the boys half the time. It had been that way ever since Britney returned to full health following some of her infamous struggles way back in 2007, but a new arrangement was apparently long overdue.
Also of note here with the new agreement: Britney’s 30% custodial rights with the two boys are NOT supervised! That’s a big step up for the momma, who now can enjoy her sons as they all wish during their time together, and though it’s more limited from the previous 50-50 split, they might just all have a bit more fun along the way.
Obviously, the pop star has been going through it of late, struggling with family issues related to her father’s health and other problems along with some of her own mental health challenges.
Insiders are quick to claim part of the problem has been with her medications; per TMZ, some of them have stopped working, and docs have been on the grind trying to find the right mix that’ll help continue to stabilize the pop legend.
Still, there’s no question she’s been hard at work along the way, and has plenty of support from boyfriend Sam Asghari, among other people on which she can lean. Federline being keen to take on so much more of the custodial responsibility should also continue to allow Brit more time to focus on getting healthy and back on track, too. Not a bad guy, that Kevin!
And more to the point, hopefully things keep working like this to get the pop princess back on tack! We’d love to see Britney get it all in order in no time at all!
Sending good vibes!!!
