Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline has weighed in on her conservatorship battle after Britney's bombshell allegations of abuse last week.

The rapper, 43, was married to the 'Toxic' singer from 2004 to 2007, and the pair share two sons, Sean, 15, and Jayden, 14, of whom Federline was granted sole custody.

However, he has nothing but good wishes for his ex-wife, and his lawyer revealed that he wants her to be "happy and healthy" as she seeks to have the conservatorship which has governed her life since 2008 removed.

"What is best for her, Kevin supports her in being able to do that," Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan told Entertainment Tonight on Friday.

"It doesn't matter how positive of an effect a conservatorship has had if it's having a deleterious effect and detrimental effect on her state of mind. So he supports her having the best environment for her to live in and for his children to visit with their mother in."

The lawyer continued: "Kevin feels that the best thing for his children is for their mother to be happy and healthy and if she can do that without a conservatorship, that's terrific."

Kaplan said that while Britney's ex-husband has been watching how proceedings have played out, he has been in no way involved himself and has "stayed clear of that."

"He just hopes that everything goes well," his lawyer added.

Kaplan relayed that all Federline wants is the outcome Britney desires because it would "make her a happy mother and obviously, I think one of the takeaways we could all [hear] from her comments is that she is under a tremendous amount of pressure."

"People under pressure sometimes don't make the same decisions that they would if they were completely left to their own free will," Kaplan added.

"If she is able to handle herself in a way that does not jeopardize herself or her children, should they be in her custody, Kevin is very comfortable with the conservatorship being dissolved."

Federline said that the conservatorship is only still relevant to their children because "there are financial issues that have to be addressed."

He said that ultimately, he is hoping that the conservatorship is scrapped "to make sure when the boys visit with mom" that "everything is stable and safe."
