You didn’t need to know anything about child custody laws to see this coming…
As of late yesterday a judge banned Britney Spears from seeing her children. The newly issued court order states that Brit’s ex-husband Kevin Federline has been “awarded sole legal custody and sole physical custody of the minor children.”
Those children being 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James, both of whom are reportedly safe and tucked away in their dad’s Tarzana spread while their mother enters day two of a minimum 72-hour lockdown for psychological evaluation.
According to court documents, Spears’s visitation with her children is suspended “pending further order of the court.” However, the warring parties are due back in court on January 14th so there is a possibility the order could be amended at that time.
Though, I wouldn’t count on it given all that has transpired with the derailed pop princess in the last 36 hours. For those of you who live in a Britney-free zone and missed the pandemonium that occurred late Thursday night you might not be aware that police were called to Ms. Meltdown’s mansion when she refused to turn over her sons to Federline’s bodyguard after a scheduled visitation. The incident was later classified as a “hostage situation” and the 3-hour standoff resulted in Spears being hauled away on a gurney into an ambulance and eventually being admitted to the psych ward at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
In regards to earlier reports that suggested Spears might have been under the influence of some “unknown substance,” police are now saying there is no evidence that supports that claim.
Also, police are now confirming that there were no injuries sustained by either Spears or her son Jayden James with whom the former Mouseketeer locked herself in a room with prior to police responding to her residence.
Police also revealed late yesterday that “no actual crime was involved,” and contrary to some published reports, Spears was never arrested in connection with Thursday night’s standoff. However, officers say an investigation is ongoing at some point if deemed necessary the LAPD could file charges against the burned out pop star.
As for answering the question posed in the title of this blog, according to child custody experts, it may be a very long time before the 26-year-old head shaving, panty-free, bird-flipping, finger lickin’ delusional former child star is reunited with her tots.
