Britney Spears' custody agreement with ex-husband Kevin Federline was modified Thursday. The singer is now permitted one supervised overnight visit per week with sons Sean Preston and Jayden James. Her attorney has asked that Lynne Spears, Britney's mother, be appointed the monitor of the visits.
Spears was previously allowed supervised visits with her children, but overnight stays were not allowed.
Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini confirmed the new custody arrangement, but he did not name the court-appointed monitor.
Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said that his client agreed to the change.
"He agreed — didn't have to — but he agreed that he would allow that additional time ... provided that there were additional assurances in place that made him feel the kids were protected," Kaplan said.
The attorney declined to name who would monitor the visits, but he did say he believes the appointment of a family member is a conflict of interest.
The next hearing in the custody battle is October 26.
