Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline is refusing to berate his former wife in public, insisting any issues he has to discuss with her will be done behind closed doors. Spears' mothering skills of the couple's two children--Sean Preston, 22 months, and Jayden James, 10 months--have been criticized in the media over the past year and the pop star's recent behavior on video and photo shoots have raised questions about her emotional state.

Federline and Spears' marriage officially ended on Monday after just 33 months. They split last November, only two months after the birth of Jayden James.

The aspiring rapper's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, admits his client treats his two boys very differently from their mother. The couple share custody of the two boys.

Kaplan says,

"When they are with him, he is going to shield his children from unwanted media attention. You will not find a picture of Kevin parading with the children out in a public place."
"He's focused right now on being the best parent that he can be.

"He doesn't want to do anything that would be perceived as taking her (Spears) down a peg. His goal is to keep things between him and  Britney private. There's a proper forum to discuss issues with a co-parent. That place is not in the public eye."

She's been best known for hanging out with Britney Spears, but now her "cousin" Alli Sims is aiming for a pop career of her own.

Blogs have been watching Sims's Web site closely, and on Monday Spears's former assistant updated it to include her first song – a cover of "On My Own," from the stage musical Les Misérables.

And, the newly launched singer tells PEOPLE, she already has a staunch supporter in Spears.

Shrugging off rumors that Britney resented her decision to pursue her lifelong dream, Sims, 26, says: "She heard my songs on the laptop and was like, 'I love this song! This is you singing?' She has always been supportive."

As for Spears's parenting skills, which have come under fire recently, Sims tells PEOPLE in its new issue, "She's a wonderful mom and she is so hands-on. ... Britney loves those babies to death. And they adore her."

When it comes to her former employer, Sims adds, "I love her, she's beautiful inside and out. We're still great friends."

Having moved to Los Angeles immediately after college with a music career in mind, Sims made ends meet by working with noted wedding planner Mindy Weiss and, more recently, for Spears.

"I was just doing that for a little while, and we had a great time together," Sims says of working with Britney.

Maureen Funk, the mother of Shannon Funk, a personal assistant whom an insider said was fired by Britney Spears last week, is defending her daughter.

She tells Life & Style, “My daughter is a terrific person and she has been hounded by the media since news that she had left Britney broke. Contrary to what people may think, this situation is not about money as Shannon is not that type of person." Maureen denies her daughter inked a $500,000 "tell-all" deal to spill the beans about her short-lived stint as Brit's personal assistant (Shannon has denied she was fired by Britney).

Maureen says, “I feel sorry for Britney Spears, as she is under a lot of pressure every day and is a really sweet woman, despite all the stories."

As Life & Style previously reported, "Britney felt a lot of her recent troubles started and stopped with Shannon,” an insider close to Britney said. “Britney thought she was talking badly about her. She was rude and Britney felt she was letting business emails fall by the wayside.” Shannon was Brit's assistant when the pop star recently filmed her personally-financed video, which ended in a near meltdown.

Meanwhile, Britney's uncle, Barry Bridges, tells Life & Style that with Britney's divorce from Kevin Federline finalized, "I think Britney and Kevin should be very happy about this. It’ll be a relief to the family, [and] I think [her mom] Lynne will be happy."

As for advice he would offer Britney, he says, "Just get on with your life, and try to be civil. She’ll need to know to not talk badly about their daddy, especially around the kids."

Asked whether he thinks Brit will work on her relationship with mom Lynne, now that the divorce is settled, he says, "I think they’ll get back together.

Sometimes people are hard-headed, but Britney and Lynne have been so close so long. Remember that your family is always your family. You don’t forget they love you, no matter what."
