Britney Spears gets more time with sons

Pop princess Britney Spears will get to spend more time with her two sons during visitation, a court ruled Tuesday.

"We are so pleased with Britney's progress, and we are appreciative of the court's recognition of this progress," the Toxic singer's parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears, said in statement after a hearing attended by the pop star and her ex-husband Kevin Federline.

There was no change in custody, Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said at a press conference, but he said her time with her boys will be "more than it has been." He would not elaborate.

Spears will get three days supervised visitation a week and visitation on Mother's Day, according to TMZ.com.

"The court made orders today, they were orders that the parties were able to mostly agree to," Kaplan said. "It represents a cautious step moving forward.

"We are seeing signs of [Britney's] progress, and consistency over time is something welcome by Kevin ... The children are doing great."

The next progress hearing is set for July 15.

After the hearing, Britney, wearing a knee-length brown and white dress, was spotted smiling and leaving with her parents.

When asked if she were happy, her attorney Stacy Philips gave a smile and a thumbs up sign.

Lynne and Jamie were smiling and talking to each other.

Britney's father and a lawyer maintain legal control of her affairs until a July 31 hearing.
