Kevin Federline is eager to "minimise the hardship" that his two young sons have to go through, according to his lawyer.
People magazine reports that the rapper's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan said that the court order barring Britney Spears from seeing the children is "painful, but appropriate".
He said: "Kevin's not indifferent to how difficult it has to be on their mother (Spears) and on the kids. It's a sad situation. There's no victorious feeling."
"Kevin wants nothing more than to be able to parent his children with participation by their mother."
"But the best interest of the children require that they be in the most sound, safe, nurturing and consistent environment. That is paramount."
The lawyer also said: "[Kevin] is committed to trying to fill any void by him being there at all times for them in any way. He can't replace their mother in their life but he is going to try to minimise the hardship."
