Kevin Federline‘s lawyer says he’s never interfered with Britney Spears‘ 13-year conservatorship.
Mark Vincent Kaplan, who represents Spears’ ex-husband of three years, opened up in a new interview about the DJ’s goals for the former couple’s kids, Sean, 15, and Jayden, 14 amid the controversial court battle over the pop star’s personal and financial affairs.
“Kevin was not involved in the conservatorship, and he was not an agent of the conservator or anybody on that side of the probate case,” Kaplan told Page Six. “All along, Kevin has had one goal and that was to make it more likely, as soon as reasonable, that he and Britney could have a successful co-parenting relationship regarding the kids.”
Kaplan added that his client has “never threatened anything” when it comes to his and Spears’ children, and has only made decisions “for the sake and health and well-being of the kids.”

The attorney stressed that Federline “has never used his children as pawns for anything,” insisting that their two boys have “always” been his top priority.
Earlier this week, Kaplan told Fox News Federline does have concerns regarding the idea of the “Toxic” singer regaining full control of her life “without any expert evaluation,” days after Spears addressed the court and made a plea to the judge that she wants her conservatorship to end without being psychologically examined.
“I’ve seen it reported that Britney wants [the conservatorship] terminated without any expert evaluation,” Kaplan told us. “One thing that I can imagine will engender a further dialogue should it be terminated is that I know she had revealed in the statement she made that she had been put on lithium, and I think, as you can imagine, lithium is regarded as a very powerful psychotropic medication.”
Meanwhile, over the weekend a transcript leaked online from the fan account @Meaner03 consisting of an interview with Spears’ former manager Larry Rudolph. According to the documents via Page Six, Rudolph described Federline as a “necessary party” in the 2008 intervention of Spears following her breakdown.
“Kevin was brought on that call because he was going to be involved in the planning — I’m sorry, the execution, I should say, of that intervention,” Rudolph allegedly said in the leaked documents via the outlet. “He was a necessary party. There were no legal issues discussed. There were no — nothing to that — nothing in that order. Only discussion about the execution of the intervention.”
