Britney Spears' to Get Back Overnight Visits With Boys
Britney Spears' visitation rights to sons Sean Preston and Jayden James were expanded Tuesday following a custody hearing with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
There was no change in custody, Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said at a press conference, but overnight visits "will be phased in in the near future.
"The court made orders today, they were orders that the parties were able to mostly agree to," Kaplan said. "It represents a a cautious step moving forward."
Kaplan said the court was "pleased with the progress that seems to be occurring" with Spears daily.
He called the court's ruling "a step in the right direction.
"The children are doing great — that's the key," Kaplan said. "That's what all of this is about."
Court spokesman Allan Parachini also read a statement from Britney's parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears.
"We are so pleased with Britney's progress, and we are very appreciative of the court's recognition of this progress," he said.
The next progress hearing is set for July 15.
After the hearing, Britney was spotted smiling and leaving with her parents, Jamie and Lynne.
When asked if she were happy, her attorney Stacy Philips gave a smile and a thumbs up sign.

As Federline left the courtroom, he smiled but did not say anything.
Federline has had primary custody of their sons since January, when Spears, 26, was involuntarily hospitalized after she refused to turn over one of the boys to Federline's bodyguard.
As the singer's stability has improved under the co-conservatorship of her father, she has been granted regular visits with her sons.
