Britney granted more time with children

Britney Spears has been granted longer access to her sons after a custody hearing, with her former husband Kevin Federline's lawyer citing progress made.

Britney Spears has been granted more access to her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, following a custody hearing yesterday. As previously reported, the singer lost custody of her children last October, followed by a denial of visiting rights in January, when she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Her former husband and father of the children Kevin Federline has had full custody of the children since then, but did agree to grant occasional supervised visits in February.

Spears will now be able to see her sons for longer periods "in recognition of the progress that has been made, a progress in structure and stability", Federline's lawyer told reporters yesterday.

Britney's parents also issued a statement, in which they said: "We are so pleased at Britney's progress and we are very appreciative of the court's recognition of this progress".

The singer will be back in court in July for her next progress report.
