Britney Spears is preparing for more legal drama in 2020, as she attempts to alter her current custody agreement with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
After their 2007 divorce, Spears and Federline reached a custody agreement requiring a 50-50 split with their children Preston, 14, and Jayden, 13. Unfortunately for Spears, her father and conservator Jamie Spears allegedly instigated a physical altercation with Preston, which forced the judge the rule in favor of Federline’s request for a 70-30 split last September.
Despite her father, an insider told Us, “Britney’s goal in the new year is to go to family court and petition the judge for increased custody time with the boys. She will have the boys on Christmas Eve, and they will go to their dad’s at some point on Christmas Day.”
The insider continues, “The relationship between Jamie and Britney has completely fallen apart. Britney remains very angry at Jamie because his actions with her kids resulted in losing custody time with the kids.”
Britney also plans on attending a status hearing set for January 22 in order to deal with her father’s current conservatorship status.
Again, according to an inside source, “[Britney] has spent the last year prioritizing herself and her well-being, something she did not have a chance to do as much during her Las Vegas residency. She has had less time with her sons but got really close with her mom, Lynne, and sister, Jamie Lynn, again recently. Britney spends most of her time at home with her boyfriend Sam [Asghari] or alone. Her relationship with Sam is rock-solid. He brings her so much joy and is a source of stability in her often chaotic life.”
If all goes well in 2020, Britney will gain full control over her financial affairs, as well as regain 50-50 custody status with Federline.
