On 29 June, Kevin released a statement to People through his attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan. "The best thing would be for their mom to be healthy and happy. And if either of those things aren't true, it doesn't provide for the best setting for custody to be exercised," he said, referring to Britney and Kevin's kids, Sean Preston, 15, and Jayden James, 14. "[Kevin] certainly respects Britney and only hopes the best for her because when the best for her is achieved, it's the best for their kids. The kids love their mother and he wants there to be a healthy and strong relationship."
"Britney has not been served well by the conservatorship and it's not consistent with what she wants," Kaplan added. "I think that she should be able to challenge that. And if it's what's best for her, Kevin supports it."
