Britney Spears and Kevin Federline reached an amicable divorce settlement Thursday, including a custody agreement over their two young sons.

The estranged couple spent five hours at the Los Angeles offices of the star's lawyer Laura Wasser, along with Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan.

"The parties signed a global settlement on all issues of their marriage and the custody of the children," Michael Sands, spokesman for Federline's lawyer, said, as quoted by Daily Dish.

 

Britney Spears, 25, filed for divorce on November 7, 2006, just two months after giving birth to their youngest child Jayden James citing "irreconcilable differences."

In the divorce papers, Spears was seeking legal and physical custody of Jayden James and Sean Preston, 18 months, while former dancer Federline, 29, also asked for custody of the children, as well as requesting spousal support.

The couple wed in October 2004 after a whirlwind six-month romance.

The divorce agreement comes nine days after Spears checked out of Promises Rehab Center in Malibu, Calif., for a month-long treatment for unspecified problems.
