Spears And Ked-Fed Return To Court
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were due in court Friday as the former spouses try to work out custody arrangements for their two young sons.
At a late-morning hearing, Spears' lawyer was expected to argue that the pop star has complied with court orders and should regain the shared custody she lost earlier this month.
The singer and her ex-husband were expected in court later in the day.
Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon, who has said there is evidence Spears is a "habitual, frequent and continuous" user of drugs and alcohol, withdrew approval for her to even visit the children after finding she had failed to comply with some conditions for shared custody.
He later withdrew the ban and allowed her to visit Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1 -- but only in the presence of a court-approved monitor.
The order by Gordon was tough and unambiguous.
Spears was to undergo random drug and alcohol tests and meet weekly with a parenting coach who would report back to the court about her parenting skills. Spears and Federline also were prohibited from making derogatory remarks about each other in their children's presence and from using "corporal punishment" to discipline them.
Both parents also were ordered to complete the court's "Parenting Without Conflict" class.
