Britney
Spears
and
Kevin
Federline
have
reached
a
divorce
settlement.
The
couple,
who
married
in
September
2004
before
Britney
filed
for
divorce
last
November,
agreed
the
deal
during
a
five-hour
meeting
in
Los
Angeles
yesterday.
Kevin
is
rumoured
to
be
receiving
a
$1
million
payment,
with
the
couple
sharing
custody
of
their
two
sons,
18-month-old
Sean
Preston
and
Jayden
James,
six
months.
A
spokesman
for
Kevin's
attorney
said:
"The
parties
signed
a
global
agreement
on
all
issues
of
their
marriage
and
custody
of
their
children."
He
refused
to
elaborate
on
the
terms
of
the
settlement,
but
revealed
they
had
reached
an
agreement
on
financial
matters.
A
judge
must
approve
the
agreement
before
the
divorce
is
finalised.
During
the
meeting,
Kevin,
29,
took
a
cigarette
break
and
Britney,
25,
followed
him
outside
where
they
spent
15
minutes
talking.
The
meeting
took
place
in
Britney's
attorney
Laura
Wasser's
office
in
California's
Century
City.
The
estranged
couple
agreed
to
temporarily
share
custody
of
their
sons
in
January,
but
Kevin
took
over
custody
when
Britney
checked
into
Malibu's
Promises
rehab
centre
in
February.
Earlier
this
month,
it
was
reported
Britney
had
decided
to
give
Kevin
$19
million.
