Ex-husband lets Britney see sons

Kevin Federline has agreed to give ex-wife Britney Spears visitation rights with their two young sons, his lawyer said today.

Mr Federline’s lawyer Mark Kaplan said the former couple had agreed to a modification of a court order that had stripped troubled pop star Spears, 26, of her visitation rights.

A court commissioner gave Mr Federline sole physical and legal custody of their sons and suspended the Spears’ visitation rights on January 4.

Spears has not been allowed to see sons Jayden, one, and Sean, two, since an incident at her home that led to the first of her two admissions to a hospital psychiatric department this year.

Spears and her estate were placed under the temporary conservatorship of her father James after she was taken to UCLA Medical Centre on January 31.

Conservatorships are granted for people deemed unable to care for themselves or their affairs.
