Britney Spears Reportedly Worried About Losing Custody of Her Kids

According to TMZ, who originally shared the news, Kevin reported Jamie for abuse last month after a fight between Jamie and Sean Preston, 13, turned physical. Allegedly, Jamie broke down a door to get to Sean and then grabbed him, which led to Jamie being investigated by police.

This week, Sean and his younger brother, Jayden, 12, were granted a temporary restraining order against Jamie for their protection -- a move that Britney is reportedly supportive of, because she wants to keep her kids safe.

"Britney was very upset with her dad and left with the boys," the source said. "She never wants Jamie to treat her boys the way he did or to get involved with disciplining them in that way."

And apparently, after the incident went down, Britney immediately told Kevin what happened, and he made the call to go to the authorities.

"Britney had to explain to Kevin what happened and he felt they had no choice but to go to the police. Kevin wants to protect his boys," the insider added.

As Us Weekly reported, Kevin has the boys the majority of the time, while Brit gets them 30 percent -- a big change from when they shared 50/50 custody last year. Reportedly, this is the way they've been splitting time for awhile now and the hearing just made it official. 

After all that Britney has been through lately -- including entering treatment earlier this year for her mental health -- it makes sense that Kevin would be doing most of the heavy lifting these days. But hopefully, one day, Britney will be stable enough to spend more time with her kids.

It certainly sounds as if the restraining order was the right move for Britney and her fam, because Sean and Jayden's safety is what's most important.

Let's hope things settle down in the Spears-Federline universe soon.
