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 ...

61. 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. :)

62. 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?

63. 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.

Mark Vincent Kaplan - Bar association #58836

Address: Kaplan & Simon, 2049 Century Park E #2660, Los Angeles, CA 90067 Phone Number (310) 277-9009

** 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?

64. Maybe Kev could teach his sons how to smoke pot. Less risk with him my A$$!

65. Nothing for nothing, I just can't even understand WHY the popular vote is w/ this leeching, leave my pregnant woman, for someone who has more money, treat Brit horrible, I dunno, I feel bad for her. I am 40 something, I have 2 daughters, little younger than brit, but I can see that this girl is hurting, and needs help. I honestly think she is suffering PPD, BETRAYAL, and that can really eat at you. If the courts ever give that blood sucking kid, Kev these kids, Oh please, 3 FT nannies while HE is the one in vegas and eveywhere else on Brits money...really, give the girl some love, what if she were your daughter?

67. ATTENTION WOMEN AND GIRLS:

There are way to many people trying to separate mamas from their babies:

1. They want you have an abortion before your baby is born.
2. They want you to give your baby up for adoption if you don't have an abortion.
3. Your boyfriends and ex-husbands want to make you look like a tramp and worse and that they are the perfect nanny (even if it's all lies) so they can get custody and not have to pay child support.

Stay alert, on guard and vigilant. Wouldn't it be interesting if there was a Witness Protection Program/Womens and Childrens shelters for women in case of pregnancies due to rape, incest and other not so great behaviors by men?

That might happen in a world that wanted babies with their mamas.

68. AMEN, Tressbelle femme...said it better than I tried...he is nothing but a low life, out for money, I bet he keeps having kids too...with Shar, who else wants him.

Posted at 7:36PM on Aug 14th 2007 by rusty

69. Is is legal for Kfed to spend the child custody for himself.. like partying, smoking, buying his own cloths.. not for the kids? IF IT"S LEGAL then KFED IS JUST A MONEY SUCKER FOR WANTING MORE CUSTODY. let's say he gets $15k a month for the kid.. and 3k a week for a nanny, 1k a week for food, 2k for cloths, they arent in kindergarten yet??? for god shake.. the rest will be to buy kefed more bling bling. rofl. and act like a pop or pup star..

70. Britney is brain dead and the court needs to keep this wacko mom away from the children until she is out of the mental hospital.Nice ass shot from the other night Britney. Why show us your fat ass?? You have already showed your shaved privates and the huge scar from your c-section. We could see the fumes coming off your privates and that explains the c-section. No child could survive coming through that nasty, filthy birth canal!!!!

71. You mean to tell me K-Fed never leaves his home? Never goes out? Why don’t we ever see stories on him? Because the photogs don’t follow him the way they do Britney. When they were married weren’t there photos of him everywhere partying? So now that he isn’t married he wants to be a stay at home guy? It’s all p.r. b.s. I’m not buying it.

72. whatever, 35------------ she did shame all women by acting like an innocent virgin! Taking responsibility for one's actions has nothing to do with one's opinion and one's feelings. Who are you to invalidate other people's feelings? You do not need to know someone to feel judged by them! DUH! Society has kept women as second class citizens by judging all women who have sex before marriage-this is nothing new. This is why politicians use an emotional issue such as abortion to control a women's behavior. Britney was one of their pawns. She paraded around like a virgin, but she was doing whomever and whatever....you missed the point-----Wake-up, telling young women they have to be virgins, is shaming them!

74. I'm curious, how is Federline paying for this attorney? Unless, Kaplan is doing it for free and the publicity, lawyers aren't cheap. When it comes to Federline, all financial roads lead back to Spears.

75. It is obvious Kfed is using Britney for her money.....Yes, she has not made perfect choices, but it is clear that she loves her kids. Everything she does is altered in such a way so that people see what a "terrible mother she is". I do think she needs help, i dont deny that, and for those who say she deserves it bc of Shar Jackson, I think she has been repaid and then some. As for her claims to being a virgin....has anyone ever heard of publicists?! They TELL her what to say. She was clearly given to much at such a young age, and since 16, the weight of the world has sat on her shoulders. When she was prude, she needed to be sexier and when she became what people wanted, she was a slut. I feel sorry for her, her coaches have tried to mold her into somthing the world wants to see, and it seems now she doesnt know who she is. Though she is not perfect, I think she alot nicer than alot of those out there......the media is so one-sided, they dont focus on all the charity she has done. Additionally, she chose the bum she married, thinking he was a nice guy who stuck up for him when no one else would. Clearly a mistake, but I think she has good intentions, and with some help, I think she will be back on her feet. I just wish everyone would stop listening to all the crap thats put out there about her.
