Britney Spears Loses Visitation Privileges

by Winnie McCarthy

britney-sprears-south-beach.jpgAccording to TMZ, the court has ordered that Britney Spears shall not receive visitation with her two sons until she fully complies with all of the court orders in her ongoing custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

The order from the commissioner stated only, “Petitioner’s visitation with the minor children is suspended pending Petitioner’s compliance with the court order.” TMZ is reporting that emergency hearing, called by Kevin Federline’s attorney Mark Kaplan, specifically addressed the issue that Britney had not given her contact information to the people in charge of conducting her random drug tests. Without that contact information, the testing cannot be coordinated.

This seems like such a simple thing to do: give your information to the drug testing people. It is either a case of Britney not caring or of her simply being too out of it to understand the simple tasks that she must complete. The judge does seem to be a little harsh, though, in suspending her visitation over this. My guess is that there is something more to the ruling. He likely thinks that she intentionally did not give her contact information and is evading drug tests. That is certainly more serious than forgetting to give contact information.

It seems like they are in court every week for this custody battle and they will, in fact, be back in court next week on October 26th. Both Britney and Kevin were actually ordered to appear in person at that court date. Let’s hope Britney doesn’t oversleep again and makes it to court on time.
