I don’t quite understand this.
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline have reached an agreement in their custody case: Kevin will retain sole custody of the two boys, and Britney will have visitation rights.
“The case has been settled,” Federline’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan said. “This is the end of a two-year journey.”
The agreement is expected to be signed off by a court today.
Britney’s been doing so much better!
Why would she give up custody???
would you want your two kids living full time with britney spears? i think not. seems like the right decision to me.
thats just sad.
Ugh, Britney. =(
I think you pretty much have to be an unthinking retard to not understand this. Britney is a CHILD ABUSER and a DRUG ADDICT. She is a pathetic, neglectful mother. She lost her kids because of that. Simple as that.
She maybe getting “better” but she is far from well.
This decision is probably the best for the children and the parents as well.
They can all stop writing checks to their attorneys and focus on maintaining her progress and keeping the kids safe.
What kind of MOTHER doesn’t want/need to be with her own children!?!?!?!??!?!?!
I think it’s quite disgusting. Britney, you’re an Idiot.
Lets hope that in the somewhat ‘better’ state shes in – she realizes that despite wanting to be with the kids she knows shes got a long way to go before shes healthy enough for that.
Good choice Brit!!
maybe she thinks the kids will be better off at their dads, where they are now. maybe she doesn’t want to take them away from an environment they are already attached to? maybe she asked the kids what they want? either way, she is still not fully recovered from her crazies, and she is probably working on a big comeback, which will involve touring, etc. kevin’s the more stable, and better the kids are with their dad than some nanny all the time, right? this is probably the right decision and it’s a mature one for britney to make.
windy city windy, i agree. the rest of you: you’re being more than a little judgemental. for once, britney’s behaving reasonably. this isn’t a lifetime solution, just hte one that’s best for now and she accepts it like a mature adult. what’s for you to bitch about? none of this says that she’s a bad mother or uncaring.. i wonder who you all really are to be pointing fingers..
I think Britney is back to her senses, she realizes this is not fair for her children and they are best with their father.
As much as it pains me to say it, KFed deserves a LOT of credit for finally becoming a more responsible father, even if $$$$ is likely his motivation. At this point, I don’t even care, just as long as those kids are in a safe and chaos-free environment. Just because Brit Brit decided settled doesn’t mean she’s a horrible mother– she is a horrible mother, but not for that reason, IMO.
Hear, hear. Congrats to Brit-Brit for continuing to concentrate on being the best woman she can be. So happy we haven’t seen her in the news lately.
Rumor has it she had a bit of a breakdown after Jamie Lynn had her baby-that’s why she left after one day and went back to LA.
I agree-Britney needs to worry about Britney right now. Sometimes letting go is the best and most unselfish thing a parent can do. I’m sure custody can be revisited once she is healthy.
I agree that she made a wise decision. Of course she wants and needs her children. It sounds like Kevin is more than fair with visitation and the better she gets, she gets more visitation.
She has a long way to go, and the kids need stabalization. Seem to be happy and thriving. She is doing what is best for everybody.
Postpartum depression psychosis. I think she’s been told that she can’t have more children, because it will permanently hurt her mental health, which is why she flipped and came home the day after her sister had a girl.
Anyway, what ever is up with her hopefully she can regain her sanity and if the kids are better off with dad than so be. She may have been told it would drain her bank acct and not be over for years, she just gave up.
I don’t have a feeling she’s going to live much past 30. It’s just not looking good for her at all.
BECAUSE KEVIN DESERVED SOLE CUSTODY.
Why do people not fucking understand that?
He’s clearly the more responsible one.
She needs to focus on getting better, she has her children as much as she can handle and as much as they can handle. The boys have a routine at dads house.. they have structure, kids need that. Life right now with britney will not b that. The boys will know that mom loves them. She sees them. She hasnt abandoned them. She finally has their best interests first. Good for her. I wouldnt want to try and live her life. Not in a million years.
Let’s get something straight…
Britney didn’t have a breakdown because she lost custody of her children.
She lost custody of her children because she had a breakdown. A VERY PUBLIC (by her own choice) breakdown.
I’m thinking she prefers being a part-time Mother … Maybe THAT’s why she getting better.
Look .. not everybody is cut out for parenting. Stupid people keep having kids even when they are clearly NOT cut out for it.
Oh and on her getting better? I’m not so sure. She still has that glint in her eye when the paps are surrounding her. All that bullshit pretending to hide behind her purse and all… It’s an act.
I am a dad, not a mom, of two kids – 4 and 6 years old. I would have to abduct my kids and take them to GUAM in order for my wife not to live with them.
In my opinion this shows who she REALLY is – immature attention whore who does not want to deal with the daily “stuff” of being a real mom and not a paparazzi mommy. She put her career ahead of her kids and even though I don’t share the natural bond a woman has with her own child I would sell my soul to keep my kids with me.
Maybe she wants to stop all the court craziness and take some time to prove she is fully recovered, and then she can regain custody.
Just because she is doing better, doesn’t mean she is WELL. Mark – you are a FUCKTARD. Go away.
Cause she never wanted childrens ;(
And now she realizes that they are actually more complicated than dolls…THEY ARE REAL, and they are annoyin’ ;(
(yes, KIDS are ANNOYING.)
Maybe because she’s a selfish fame whore…duh!
Its a sign she’s doing better because she’s giving up her kids. Sometimes being a better mother means handing the kids over and admitting you suck at being an every day mom. Better to give them to someone who wants them than to keep them and fuck up their lives the way she was doing. I congratulate her on her insight and mature decision. And comments like Some Chick’s up there is what make it so hard for people like Britney to do the right thing without worrying about friends and family judging them. Then kids get raised in abusive and neglectful situations because “Some JUDGEMENTAL chick will think I am a bad mother if I give my kids up”.
The father always loses because courts have an unfair bias towards women. Britney has to be really fucked up in the head (as we all know) to lose custody.
Some people just aren’t cut out to be proper parents. Moms aren’t the be all and end all of parenting. Dads are sometimes the better choice. When my mom left and my parents divorced it was decided my sister and I should stay with dad. It was the best decision for everyone. My mother was not the right choice. I still love her and she is my mom but I am glad my dad raised us.
If Britney can finally see that she’s not parent material, I commend her for stopping the expensive and divisive fight for custody. Everyone, kids, parents, and extended family would benefit more from a more casual and organic interaction in terms of custody and keep the legal bitterness out of it.
umm
yeah britanny is not a good parent
but kevin aint a good dad either thats a big choice that the
judge was to choce but my choice hould have been kevin.. but yet again u never kno
Britney is a schizophrenic, she is never getting “better”. That’s why she gave up custody, she didn’t want it to come out in court that she’s bonkers.
