K-Fed lawyer: Spears' expanded visits recognize 'progress'

  Britney Spears will have expanded visits with her sons following a child-custody hearing that went off without a hitch May 6, capping a three-month period of relative calm and stability for the troubled pop star and mother of two.

 The longer visits are ''recognition of the progress that has been made, a progress in structure and stability,'' said Mark Vincent Kaplan, lawyer for Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline. At a post-hearing press conference, Kaplan said Federline retains custody of 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James, but that Spears would be allowed to see them for longer periods.
