A day after Britney Spears filed divorce papers, Kevin Federline counter-filed court papers Wednesday seeking sole custody of the couple's two children.
The former backup dancer and aspiring rapper is also seeking spousal support. He says the couple's community assets are "uncertain," though Spears said in her divorce papers there were none to speak of, suggesting the two had a prenuptial agreement in place.
"Kevin is prepared to go the distance in order to do what he feels is necessary to protect and safeguard the children and will not be intimidated or dissuaded from pursuit of those goals," said Michael Sands, spokesman for Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan.
Citing "irreconcilable differences," Spears filed for divorce Tuesday.
Spears, 24, and Federline, 28, have a one-year-old son, Sean Preston, and a baby son, Jayden James, who was born 12 September. Spears is seeking custody of both children.
Spears wed Federline in 2004. They had a ceremony in September, but court papers state the couple were officially married 06 October.
