Popstar Britney Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline have made changes to their child custody agreement for their two sons, Preston, 13, and Jayden, 12.
According to Page Six, Federline, 41, now has custody of the boys 70% of the time, while Spears, 37, has 30% unsupervised rights. The couple amended the agreement in documents filed on August 28th 2019.
This is after Britney Spears’ father was accused of physically abusing her oldest son, and authorities are investigating the allegations, according to reports. He allegedly became angry after getting into an argument with her 13-year-old son, Sean Preston, and broke through a door before grabbing him. The alleged incident is said to have occurred while the singer’s two boys were visiting their grandfather at his residence in Ventura County on the 24th of August 2019.
Britney removed the children from the home and brought them to the home of her ex-husband Kevin Federline, who reported the incident to the Ventura County sheriff the next day.
Federline initially sought a restraining order before lawyers on both sides of the couple’s custody deal reportedly reached an agreement Tuesday (03.09.19) to keep Jamie away from the boys.
Previously, the pair, who were married from 2004-2007, shared custody 50-50. The gossip site says they’ve been following the 70-30 agreement for a year now and just made things official.
In September 2018, Spears and Federline reached a settlement after a long, public battle over child support.
Despite their legal battle, Federline jumped to Spears’ defence earlier this year when she checked herself into a mental health facility.
