After an attempt to settle out of court failed yesterday, Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are going to trial in August! People Magazine reports:
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline appear to be headed for a custody trial in August, after an attempt Thursday to settle out of court failed.
After a day of talks with a mediator, Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan told E!, "The mediation didn't result in an agreement that would avoid the trial set in August ... The mood was comfortable, positive and it was a mood that was consistent with opening at least a great dialogue, which is necessary."
Kaplan added that his client is seeking sole physical and legal custody of sons Preston, 2 1/2, and Jayden, 1 1/2, and wants Spears to continue her current visitation terms.
The singer has been spending three days a week with the boys and was recently granted overnight privileges.
"If the existing arrangement was acceptable to both parties ... we wouldn't have to go to trial," Kaplan said. "But that didn't happen."

Well, does this mean that the nasty custody battle between Britney Spears and Kevin Federline just got nastier? Sure, Britney's gotten a lot more relaxed lately, but you just know she has that fire in her, and you know what they say about when you put a mad dog in a corner... it bites! So I can't wait to see how this plays out!
