Britney Ordered To Surrender Children
Yahoo! News just reported that Britney Spears was ordered today to surrender custody of her children to ex-husband Kevin Federline by Wednesday, October 3, 2007.
Superior Court Judge Scott M. Gordon ruled that Kevin Federline will take custody of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, beginning Wednesday, October 3, 2007 “until further order of the court.”
Earlier this month, the judge said that Britney Spears engaged in “habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol” and ordered her to undergo random drug and alcohol testing twice a week as part of her ongoing custody dispute.
Britney was also ordered to meet weekly with a “parenting coach” who was to observe and report back to the court about her parenting skills. Both Britney Spears and Kevin Federline must complete the court’s “Parenting Without Conflict” class. There is no word yet whether Britney and Kevin have begun their classes or whether they will be required to meet together as part of the “Parenting Without Conflict” course.
Britney Spears, 25, and Kevin Federline, 29, were wed in October 2004 and had a tumultous marraige. Britney filed for divorce November 2006 and the divorce was finalized in July 2007. The two have joint custody of their young sons, but Kevin Federline is seeking a greater share of custody. Today, that greater share was at least partly realized.
Since Britney’s attorney has quit the case, it seems like Britney’s chances of getting her children back are dwindling. She’s going to need to clean up her act, complete the required parenting courses and prove herself to the court if she wants to be involved in the lives of her children.
I’m certain that today’s ruling must be a difficult blow for Britney.

Oh my God! Excuse me if I am less that eloquent–I am picking myself up off the floor. What is Britney’s next move gonna be??!!?? Can she appeal the judge’s ruling??!!?? Do you think she’ll try to snatch the kids and run off to a country with no extradition treaty??!!?? Do you think she’ll attempt suicide?!? What will this do to her comeback?????
And does anybody believe Fed-ex is a better parent than Britney. I mean, almost anybody would be a better parent than her, but not him. They’d almost be better off in foster care, or with Grams.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the Breaking news alert. I often get breaking news alerts form the New York Times, but never any as important as this one (and I can’t believe the Times forgot to send out an alert for this).
