After nine months from when she filed the divorce papers, Britney Spears is officially divorced. The pop princess married the singer Kevin Federline, also known as K-Fed, in a private wedding ceremony in September 2004.

Last year in November Spears, 24, has filed the divorce citing irreconcilable differences with Federline, 29.

Today, their marriage ended after Court Commissioner Scott Gordon signed orders for dissolution of marriage.

"I think she's okay with the terms," Spears' lawyer, Laura Wasser, said in a press statement after the hearing. "I think both of them would prefer to have more custody, and that can be worked out down the line."

During their two years of marriage Spears and Federline had two sons, 22-month-old Sean Preston Federline and 10-month-old Jayden James Federline.

According to Wasser, the child custody order was tentatively sealed, pending an Aug. 14 hearing.

Pop star Britney Spears and her now officially ex-husband Kevin Federline have reached a divorce settlement in March this year.

Since her divorce, Britney Spears’ life had been littered with events that made long-standing headlines the world over, including a stint at Promises rehab centre.

In May, Britney Spears has made her first appearance on stage in almost three years, performing for 20 minutes at a San Diego nightclub. Britney Spears hasn’t released a new album since 2003.
