Britney reunited with her boys

Britney Spears was reunited with her sons for three hours on Saturday 23rd Feb 2008. After lawyers for Spears and Kevin Federline reached a visitation agreement Friday, the pop star saw her children Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, for the first time since Jan. 3.

The boys left Federline's Tarzana house Saturday morning – put in their car seats by their father, according to photographers – and were driven by Federline's bodyguard to Spears's Studio City home. A source involved in the case says, "The real hero was [Spears's father] Jamie. He has taken charge, and she has visitation again." Sources confirm that Jamie and Britney's psychiatrist were present for the visit.

Britney Spears is reunited and it feels so good for everyone to know she is with her boys.

The boys left Kevin Federline’s at 9 am, driven by Lonnie, Kevin’s bodyguard, in the gray Dodge Viper truck.

Per the legal agreement that Britney's dad Jamie helped craft and which was approved by Commissioner Scott Gordon the other night, the boys could visit Brit only if certain rules were followed.

The rules were: several people had to be with Briney and the boys while the visit took place only within the confines of her living room. The list of people included Jamie, a court-ordered monitor, a psychiatrist, KFed’s security and a lawyer from
Luce-Forward who act as half of her conservator team.

Britney was not allowed to take the boys away from the common area, where the several observers were stationed. This requirement was in place because we all remember happened on January 3, when Britney took Jayden into her bathroom for three hours. Britney hadn’t seen the boys since that day. She’s had very infrequent phone chats with Sean and Jayden since then.

The visit was to last no more than three hours and, in fact, the boys left Britney’s promptly at noon.

For the first time in nearly two months, the beleaguered pop star had face-to-face contact with sons Sean Preson and Jayden James, during a Saturday morning, court-monitored visit, sources confirm to E! News.

The boys, who have primarily resided at Federline's home in Tarzana since October, were packed into his gray Dodge Viper truck by a bodyguard and shuttled to Spears' home on the Studio City/Beverly Hills border around 9 a.m.

Aside from Spears and a court-appointed monitor, there are several other key personnel on hand, including: Britney's father, Jamie Spears; a Federline security guard; and a lawyer from the Luce Forward law firm, which is handling Britney's conservatorship for Jamie Spears.

According to an insider, the 26-year-old pop star cannot take the boys, ages two and one, into another room without the others watching.

The ground rules for the visitation were hammered out Friday night, by lawyers for Luce Forward and ex-husband Kevin Federline.

"None of this would have happened if Jamie Spears had not been involved. That's for sure," Federline attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan told E! News Friday. "He gets a lot of credit for helping make this happen. But we've worked very hard with the conservator lawyers, as well, to make this all work."

Federline has had sole custody since October, and Spears hasn't seen Sean and Jayden since Jan. 3, after she refused to allow Federline's bodyguard to pick up the boys after one of her monitored visits and she ended up under observation at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

The troubles songstress was stripped of her visitation privileges and has only been allowed to contact the boys by phone.

Kevin Federline’s ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson says she’s happy pop wreck Britney Spears has reunited with her sons - insisting it’s “a good thing”.

“I believe that kids need their parents and parents need to be with their kids,” she said. “It is a good thing.”

Britney, 26, was reunited with sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, on Saturday - her first time in seven weeks - where they spent nearly three hours at the singer’s Beverly Hills home after Federline agreed to restore her visitation rights.

Mark Vincent Caplan, K-Fed’s lawyer, says the reunion “couldn’t have happened without” the help of Spears’ father, Jamie.

“We were able to get it to a point where everyone was comfortable,” Kaplan tells America’s Us Weekly magazine.

“We’re just very positive about it. Having her dad [Jamie Spears] stabilizing everything is a good thing.”

Kaplan called Saturday’s reunion “a major step,” adding that “the goal” is for the pair to share joint custody again.

“Whether that happens or not, I don’t know,” Kaplan says, “but Kevin would love to be able to have a parenting partner in helping to raise these kids.”
