Update: Britney Spears was granted one night-a-week custody of her two children this afternon. The overnight visits will need be supervised by a court monitor. (Spears had requested that her mother, Lynne, to serve as the monitor for the visits.)
Britney Spears requested an emergency hearing this morning at her children’s custody court. At the hearing, Spears requested overnight with sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.
Although Britney stayed at home during the hearing, Judge Scott Gordon scolded Spears’ attorney, Anne Kiley. “Your client (Britney) made a conscious choice not to do anything that was ordered,” Gordon said. That was a choice. That put us in this position."
Kiley vehemently disagreed with the judge, arguing, “I do think it is an emergency for a 2 and 1-year-old to be with their mother. I feel it warrants overnights. For a 1 and 2 year old it is developmentally and psychologically traumatizing to have their routine disrupted. They need a normal routine at home. Right now, visitation ends at 3 and at that point they are taking naps and are then woken up from their naps.”
Gordon responded, "I think you are right. These are important times. But at the same time this is a person who is dealing with challenges. And the challenges are substance abuse issues and emotional issues that could have devastating effects on the children."
The Judge did not rule on the request, instead he sent both parties to go to go to the court cafeteria to discuss the issue. No resolution has been announced yet.
