K-Fed's Attorney: Kids Are Less at Risk With Him

While Britney Spears' attorney was railing against the media, Kevin Federline's attorney was doing some of the same -- from behind a bank of microphones.


Mark Vincent Kaplan echoed Wasser's sentiments outside of court today, agreeing that all matters of custody between Brit and K-Fed should be kept private and out of the media -- particularly things like their respective schedules. Given Britney's late night party habits, the paps know where the boys won't be -- with her!

When Kaplan was asked if the Fed-Ex is worried about his kids being in danger, Kaplan said simply, "Kevin is concerned that the more time the children are with him, he feels the more insulated they are from risks that would otherwise be possibly visited upon them."

While Kaplan wouldn't get into what he meant by "risks," he probably meant this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and ...

46. For those of you who don't seem to be at all concerned about the children let's wait and learn what comes out from previous staff members in court. I think this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as what these babies have had to endure. The adults in all of this are not what's important. It's the children who are helpless and vulnerable individuals. Debbie CASA from Colorado

47. 2 weeks ago she took the boys to vegas where sean got punched by a pap in a shuffle. Britney failed to obide by her court order and ask kfed for permission to be able to leave the state of CA with the boys. He will probabaly get her on contempt of court order. If sean was out of the paps walking space, he wopuld have never been shoved/hit. At least kfed keeps them out of the public. Also britney did ask kfed to marrry her when he was an expectant father with shar. What did britney expect ??? No one ever considers the dignity shar has held up and never became a bitch or cry baby about losing her babies father to britney when she was pregnant. Shows the maturity level between the 2 mothers. At least sean and jayden have a abrother and sister they can be with 4 days a week when they are with their father. Britney only gets her kids from thursday nights to sundays, a louzy 3 days a week since she left rehab in march. SHe barely even knows jayden whose 10 months old and could be breast fed still. Back track to Nov when he was 2 months old, she took off on him with paris for 2 months, then Issac for another 2 months, then stripping with gogo dancers in NYC at fashion week in Feb, then shaving her head. Now post rehab she is a magazine shoot dress stealer, does a hit and run and dosent pay the damages to ladys car etc. Is she that stupid to have paps video her while she is not wearing a seat belt and hits a nother car and then leaves?? she is eithe5r very inconsiderate, stupid or really stoned out of her mind to do all the above.
Hope kfed grounds them with their their other syblings.

50. EVERY ONE MAKES KEVIN TO BE THE GREAT DAD. I QUESTION IS HE CURRENTLY PAYING CHILD SUPPORT OUT OF WHAT BRITTNEY GIVES HIM FOR THE TWO OTHER CHIDREN HE ABANDON TO MARRY BRIT.

HE IS A LOW LIFE FROM THE START. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT SHE DID NOT SEE THIS. SHE IS HIS MEAL TICKET FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE AND HIS LOW LIFE FAMILY TO SUCK THE MONEY FROM HER.

51. yep...britney is getting her just desserts -karma to the infinite power to INFINITY !!

she thought she stole him from pregnant shar and really they really werent as broken up,
shar and kevin are still parents to THEIR kids..and that tears britney up real bad.

THAT MARRAIGE STARTED OUT ON QUICKSAND IT THE END RESULT IS THUS WHATS HAPPENING TO HER IN THE PRESENT AND FUTURE.

kevin had never said a negative word about shar and her skills as a mother, he knews their kids are in safe RESPONSBLE hands with her.

shar is the more SUPERIOR mother that britney can never be
britney knows shar has beaten her in more ways than she can imagine

52. You think this couple's relationship is a mess now? Wait until the lawyers on both sides get done with them. They will destroy both of these kids to fill their lawyer banks accounts. Can't you hear them drooling now over the money?

53. Ya know, we have 2 little children who will suffer so much because of a battle going on around them. They both need more than anything STABILITY! BS and KF need to get their priorities straight and do whats best for them, the children need both parents, as long as those parents are healthy, stable and doing everything UNSELFISHLY! Id give anything to have a month with BS to help her get her priorities straight ....I could do better for her than any stupid rehab place. Britt...if you are listening, dont waste your money on a publicist or anyone who only wants to rip your freedom and individuality away...give me a month, and your butt will be back on the #1s.....

56. That's hilarious. When his own lawyer essentially says, "my client is the lesser of two evils". lol

57. Well, whoever said that we dont know either of them and to stop defending Britney...you were sure quick to call her a slut now werent you? You dont know her either. All you know it what is splashed all over the media sites. So how are you in a better position to judge then anyone else here? Get off your high horse. Here's my opinion and personally, I dont give a rats a** what you think of it. lol.
From what I have seen I dont think either deserve the kids. I think Britney needs some serious help and Kevin just seems to have run out of money and trying to cling to his 15 minutes of fame. I believe in the long run Britney could be a good mom. I think the media does follow her too much and most mistakes she makes anyone could make but those mistakes arent published for the world to see. She should know by now to watch herself in the media but maybe she is just so used to it. She still needs to get some help and actually try to better herself. The only reason I am kinda on her side is because I always wondered why Kevin never paid this much attention to his other kids? and where was he when the first child (w/him and Britney) was born? or evern right after the 2nd one? You never saw much of him and the paps follow Britney everywhere. It's also weird that all the sudden he's concerned over the children. It's not news she's been having problems but NOW he's worried? It just seems to be a push for money. I dont think he deserves anything from her since he did NOTHING to earn that money. I dont think just cause your married for a few years (an absent or partying while you are) you are entitled to it. No way in hell. You may not like Britney but that women has worked her a** off to get where she is and he hasnt done anything. She's got problems but he appears to be the more dangerous one.
It's a lot to read but hey, I dont comment hardly at all on any sites. If you are going to comment on something, might as well be on this topic. :)

58. K-Fed is nothing but a user and abuser. He was not there for his children with Shar. He was not there for Britney as a husband or a father when she was pregnant and after the children were born. He left her life in a confused mess. He became an instant 'concerned father' when Britney filed for divorce. He knows where the money lies. He will do what he has to to get custody- then he will go back to being who he really is. That this man has any influence (especially as a role model for his sons) makes me sick. Let's see he popped back into Shar's life when the divorce news came. I wonder if she is caring for his kids when they are with him- likely she is his built in nanny right now. Just what he wants. K-Fed the public is on to you. And judges are not dumb. Britney took excellent care of her body and babies while you partied. She is badly hurt. You left her life in a mess. She needs time out of the spotlight to recover. The paparazzi slants the videos and stories to hurt her. They are helping an abusive man destroy a young woman's life.

59. Hey TMZ - I looked at all the reasons you say that Britney should not have her kids. ARE YOUR FREAKING FOR REAL!!!!!!!??????????

Crouching by a car - geez take the car away because you got a picture of her crouching by a car that she dinged. Oh by the way, your video shows her trying to park all around the cameras trying to get at her.

Brainiac - Same story, you just used it to make her look bad, but it's the same accident.

Swapping spit - she is sucking on a lollipop for goodness sake, that is nothing!

Pap fight - her body guard was protecting her child from YOU. Makes her real bad.

Photo shoot - you are listening to people that you paid to say things that you wanted. I am not so stupid that I would really think that she picked up dog doo with a dress. Didn't OK Magazine have assistants, and where were they?

Real Estate shopping and she made the house a mess - well is this "reliable source" was so reliable and the house was such a mess, where are the photos? You guys seem to be everywhere, even going to the bathroom when she takes her kids, but you weren't there for this.

Come on TMZ, not one thing in any of your articles shows that she is a bad mother. You mentioned that she gives her kids soda in their bottles and asked a dentist to whitten their teeth, have the dentist give a sworn statement and monitor his bank account to make sure that you TMZ did not pay for it. Your articles on her a BS and you know it. As for the fired help. Their opinion doesn't mean anything.

Where is it that she is a bad mom?

60. K-Fed is a LOSER whose only real skill is in being a money-grubbing CONMAN.
Mark Kaplan is (an attorney from one of the lowest law schools) is an even bigger loser and conman himself for enabling this lowlife.

K-Fed didn't care about his children from his previous marriage to Shar.
He's only after Britney's money. He doesn't care one bit about any of his kids.
It's obvious he's only acting like the good guy now so he can make more money off Britney while Britney is going through depression issues (that he mainly created by his cheating, partying, drugging).
K-Fed calling Britney unfit is like the total joke.

If you feel that this whole thing is an injustice, file complaints against Attorney Kaplan and his office with the california bar association (calbar.org) and let Kaplan know how you feel by writing, calling, and emailing his office.

** If you go on calbar.org, you'll see that he went to Southwestern Law School, it's one of the lowest credentialed law schools that you can get into. No wonder he's the lawyer of a lowlife like K-Fed, decent law firms don't hire attorneys from law schools like Southwestern.

** Note also, that he was suspended in 7/6/81 for failing to pay bar member fees and not allowed to practice until he paid. Was he really that hard up for money that he had to take clients like K-Fed?
