(Newser) – Britney Spears and Kevin Federline have reached a custody agreement that will keep them out of court for the near future. If the judge approves, K-Fed will retain sole custody of Preston, 2½, and Jayden, 18 months, with Spears continuing to have two visits and one overnight per week, People reports.

"Until the kids turn 18, we can expect in years to come that Britney and Kevin will be back in court," said a family lawyer who is not involved with the case. "Britney will have a better chance of winning more custody once she regains her health. This is just the end of Round One."
