Britney & Kevin’s Custody Battle Still On!

Britney’s Pop is not happy with the custody agreement!  The California court system breathed a sigh of relief last week when OK! exclusively revealed that Britney Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline had finally reached an agreement over their prolonged custody battle for their two children.

However, sources tell OK! that Brit’s dad, Jamie Spears, who has been acting as her court-ordered conservator for several months and who has final say over all her legal and financial matters, isn’t happy with the agreement and is refusing to sign off on the settlement.

Both parties are expected back in court today at 2 p.m. PST for an emergency hearing with family court Commissioner Scott Gordon, who had been expected to make the settlement official several days ago.  Outside the courtroom, a spokesperson for the court said, "There apparently is a settlement… We expect it delivered by one of the lawyers this afternoon."

However, the spokesperson did say that he could not yet say when the details of the settlement will be released to the public.

On July 17, K-Fed’s lawyer spoke exclusively to OK! to announce that he and Brit’s attorney Laura Wasser had worked out an agreement between the feuding spouses. Under the terms of the settlement, Kevin is to retain sole legal and physical custody of Sean Preston, 2, and 1-year-old Jayden James, while Britney will continue to have visitation rights which may increase over time.

The agreement was presented to the court on July 18, at which point commissioner Gordon was expected to finalize the paperwork, finally putting an end to months of back-and-forth feuding.   Source

UPDATE: The war will soon officially be over in the Britney custody case today. Within the next hour Brit’s lawyer will settle — filing papers that will officially end the custody battle. She will get more visitation, and down the line Brit may ultimately end up with 50/50 custody.  K-Fed’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, is at court right now filing the papers. Source: TMZ
