Kevin Federline has agreed to give ex-wife Britney Spears visitation rights with their two young sons.

Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said that the two sides have agreed to a modification of a court order that had stripped Spears of her visitation rights.

A court commissioner gave Federline sole physical and legal custody of the former couple's two boys and suspended the pop star's visitation rights on Jan. 4. Federline and Spears were divorced last year.Spears has not been allowed to see sons Jayden James, 1, and Sean Preston, 2, since a bizarre incident at her home that led to the first of her two hospitalizations in a psychiatric facility this year.

Spears and her estate were placed under a temporary conservatorship after she was taken to UCLA Medical Center on Jan. 31. Conservatorships are granted for people deemed unable to care for themselves or their affairs.

Her father, James Spears, has temporary control over his daughter’s life and estate that will continue at least until a hearing on March 10, a court commissioner said last week.
