A custody trial is set for August 25th after Kevin Federline and Britney Spears fail to reach a custody agreement.

K-Fed’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan said,

The mediation didn’t result in an agreement that would avoid a trial…The mood was comfortable, positive and it was a mood that was consistent with opening at least a great dialogue, which is necessary.  Kevin is seeking to maintain the sole legal and physical custody that he presently has.  Kevin has had sole legal custody since January.  He wants that to become the permanent order at trial, and the visitation to be consistent with what the court expanded it to this week.

Britney has come a long way since January and her visitations were expanded earlier this week to include overnight stays along with two day visits a week.

Although Britney appears to be mentally stable, we can’t forget that her dad, Jamie, is still in control of her life.  Besides I can see why Kevin would want to maintain sole custody of his little paychecks boys.  How can he trust Britney to care for her children if she is still unable to care for herself?
