The judge in the custody battle involving Britney Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline has granted the singer more time with her sons as she continues to make progress in rebuilding her life.
Reuters reports that lawyers representing Federline told reporters that Spears' visitation rights had been extended but did not give further details.
At yesterday's closed hearing, a mental health expert gave an assessment of Spears.
Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said: "We all see indicators of progress by Ms Spears."
"What was a seemingly daily state of extreme flux has been stabilised," he added.
The 26-year-old singer appeared at the court on time yesterday.
In a statement, her parents said: "We are so pleased at Britney's progress and we are very appreciative of the court's recognition of this progress."
Federline's spokesman, Elliott Mintz, told reporters that his client was pleased with yesterday's hearing.
Mintz said: "At the end of this saga he is hoping and believing that there will be two children who are raised in the company of the two people who love them."
