Britney Spears Keeps Kids, Must Undergo Weekly Drug Testing
Britney Spears is not losing custody of her kids, despite several news outlets reporting otherwise. She will continue to share 50/50 custody arrangements with her ex-husband Kevin Federline for their shared children Sean Preston, age two, and Jayden James, age one.
I think we can all agree that this was a really bad move on the judge's part, but hey when you're famous, the standard rules of conduct do NOT apply.
The judge DID demand that Britney Spears undergo drug and alcohol testing twice a week and there were some pretty damning conditions in the documents filed in the case as they relate specifically to Britney's parenting skills and on-going issues with drug and alcohol use and possible addiction. From the filed court documents, Britney must do the following:
Meet with a Parenting Coach for a minimuin of eight hours each week, in at least two sessions per week. The Parenting Coach is to observe the Petitioner's interaction with the minor children and her parenting skills. Counsel are ordered to meet and confer with regard to selecting the parenting coach. In the event that counsel are unable to reach an agreement within five days of this date, they are each to submit a listing of three proposed coaches and the Court will make the determination. Costs for the Parenting Coach to be borne by the Petitioner.The Parenting Coach shall provide each coursel with a written progress report by October 22, 2007, The Parenting Coach shall appear in Department 88 on November 26, 2007:
