The custody dispute between Britney Spears, 26, and her ex-husband Kevin Federline, 30, has been resolved, with Kevin taking full legal and physical custody of their sons -- Sean Preston, 2 ½, and Jayden James, 1 ½.  Kevin's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan confirmed the news to E! News, saying "the case has been settled" and "the court still has to approve it."  Per the terms of the agreement, Britney will have visitation rights with the boys.  Mark added that sole custody was not something Kevin pushed for, telling E!,

Kevin's goal was to set up some kind of template so the mother of his children can co-parent. He said I need to have Britney to be involved in the co-parenting of the kids but I need there to be a structure.

While "nobody could have anticipated the terms of events that have occurred," Kevin is nonetheless "delighted" by the settlement, Mark said.

Britney and Kevin were married in 2004; They separated in 2006, shortly after the birth of Jayden, and their divorce was finalized last year.
