Washington, 22 July 2008 -- One month before a child custody trial was to begin, Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline has been granted sole custody of their two sons, 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James.

Kevin Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan told E! News, "The case has been settled. The court still has to approve it." "Nobody could have anticipated the terms of events that have occurred...." he added. "This was a two-year journey that will be halted at a point that is good for these children. Custody is always modifiable. If there is a final order, it means there is nothing to try."
