Kevin Federline "absolutely delighted" his custody battle with Britney Spears has ended

"Nobody could have anticipated the terms of events that have occurred," Kaplan tells E!. "This was a two-year journey that will be halted at a point that is good for these children.

"Kevin's [goal] was not to get custody," Kaplan adds. "Kevin's goal was to set up some kind of template so the mother of his children can co-parent."

Spears, 26, currently has monitored, twice-a-week visitation and one overnight visitation per week. Under the settlement, Spears will get more time with her kids, her attorney, Laura Wasser said.

"It was a victory for the whole family that they don't have to go to a trial," she said. "I think they figured out a way to work together, to co-parent and make sure their kids will benefit from the result of that."
