Hands up who didn’t see this coming. Britney has lost custody of both her children.
From today’s daily mail…
“The order from LA County Superior Court judge Scott Gordon comes after Britney, 25, ignored the Commissioner’s list of requirements of things she needed to do in order to maintain 50/50 custody.
Which included meeting with a drug counsellor, submitting to twice-weekly drug-testing, and enrolling in parenting classes.
The judge also banned either parent from taking drugs or drinking up to 12 hours before caring for the boys.
According to celebrity website TMZ, Britney failed to meet any of the judges requirements.
Last Friday, Commissioner Gordon banned both Spears and Federline from driving the children unless they had a valid California driver’s licence. But on the weekend, Britney was allegedly seen driving her two children around LA without a valid licence.
She was already being investigated for the alleged hit-and-run and for driving without a licence in August, offences for which she was warned she faced up to a year in prison.
The driving offences likely compelled the judge to issue Monday’s orders, said New York divorce lawyer Raoul Felder.
“She was driving without a license with a child in the car,” he said.
“You can put aside the in and out of rehab, the shaving her head. But this? When a judge went out on a limb for her? There’s no going back.”
Britney has faced a barrage of criticism over her high-profile lifestyle, including court allegations that she was a “habitual and continuous” user of drink and drugs.
The judge said Federline, an aspiring rapper, was to “retain physical custody of the minor children until further order of the court”.
I’m not sure what went wrong in this girl’s head but this has been coming for more than three years. While I think it is a total tragedy for any parent to lose their children, I think it is probably better in this case for the moment that the two children Britney has are made safe and she gets enough time to do whatever the hell it is she needs to do to get her bead together.
The fact that she handed the children over early and then went tanning and shopping shows a woman so disconnected from reality it’s frightening.
