Following a year of legal woes, Kevin Federline's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan is ready to move forward with his client's custody battle. Kaplan told People.com: "Britney Spears will have her deposition early this year. We've got a lot to talk about."
The troubled 'Gimme More' star, 26, missed her initial deposition appearance on Dec. 12, prompting Kaplan to request an emergency hearing and to delay their next court date from January to February.
Though Britney - who has two children, Sean Preston and Jayden James, with K-Fed, cited physical illness and anxiety for her absence, Kaplan said, "She was, in fact, out later that day and night. It's not fourth grade where you get a doctor's note and it's all okay."
Kaplan also expressed hope that the singer will turn up for court this time around so further measures, such as pursuing her in contempt of court or delaying the deposition once again, will not be necessary.
"Kevin isn't interested, nor am I, in punishing her," Kaplan added to People.com. "We just want to get information necessary to proceed further. I hoping remedies which include continuing hearings are all theoretical."
As for tabloid rumors that the couple's children will also undergo drug testing, he says, "I haven't even heard about that, and I don't think that is true."
In fact, he says, the boys, Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, have been enjoying the festive period. "It was a good Christmas for all," Kaplan confirms. "They were great. Kevin had all of his kids and it was a big, wonderful family setting. He was really happy, and the kids were happy."
