The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES -- A judge on Monday ordered Britney Spears to turn over custody of her two young sons to ex-husband Kevin Federline this week.

Superior Court Judge Scott M. Gordon ruled that Federline will take custody of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, beginning Wednesday "until further order of the court."

According to TMZ.com, Gordon also ordered Spears to take parenting classes and undergo random drugs.

10. I knew because it's on the front page of MSN, which is my home page.
Maybe the OP uses MSN as a home page also (the link in the OP is from MSN).

Why is that?

28. Might have something to do with him leaving his pregnant girlfriend to marry Brit
Then indulging in flashy cars, fancy clothes, endless nights at clubs, a supposed "career" as a rapper, all with no money of his own and not a lot of indication of interest in the children from his other relationship. Which leads to speculation about why he wants these kids - substantial child support payments, perhaps?

They both strike me as self-indulgent and immature brats.

29. Why shoudn't we? He's an insufferable asshat, ignorant shitpile, and irresponsible jackoff.
Not to mention a fuckwit, shitbag, and talentless walking tower of human garbage.

16. Those poor kids.
Someone said they'd be better off if they turned over to the custody of two feral raccoons.

17. This is not shocking, I've maintained she probably doesn't
want the kids full time anyway. She made a mistake in having two kids right away and the girl is obviously not mature enough to be a full time mother based on her irrational behavior. She loves her children dearly, I'm sure but full time, nope she ain't havin it.

18. Why doesn't this thread have 80 recommendations?
More importantly, how did k-fed pass as a human being, much less daddy-o material?

19. The law says "best interests of the child" but only the "least traumatic interests" were available
As if I know any of the parties involved.

20. She needs to go into rehab and I hope this is the thing that makes her go.
Then maybe she can be a real mom to those two poor little tots.

22. Reminds me of Hasselhoff.
Edited on Mon Oct-01-07 06:48 PM by edbermac
A video shown all over the world of him shitfaced out of his mind and he still gets custody. His ex must have been really fucked up. If K-Fed is getting them it speaks volumes about her problems.

Why Britney Lost Custody

Posted Oct 1st 2007 8:09PM by Harvey Levin
Filed under: Celebrity Justice, Britney Spears

http://www.tmz.com/2007/10/01/why-britney-lost-custody/



TMZ knows exactly why Britney lost custody -- she ignored the Commissioner at every turn.

Rewind to last month. L.A. County Commissioner Scott Gordon ordered Spears to do a number of things in order to maintain 50/50 custody.

Spears was ordered to meet with a drug counselor -- she didn't do it.

Spears was ordered to submit to drug testing -- she didn't do it.

Spears was ordered to enroll in parenting classes -- didn't do it.

Spears was also required to sign the judge's order -- again, she didn't.

And last Friday, Commissioner Gordon prohibited both Spears and K-Fed from driving the children unless they had a valid California driver's license. Gordon was pissed today when TMZ posted video of Spears cavalierly driving her kids around Malibu.

In short, Spears did everything wrong ... by doing nothing.

24. Well she can get them back as soon as
she learns to drive, gets a driver's license, drives sober, drives with the kids in their car seats, gets off drugs, and takes parenting classes.

I'm sure that will be any day now.

25. Ha!! Watching Larry King
and Tmz.com has recieved info that Ms. Brittany already handed the kids over. Court order came at 10:00am she said ba-bye to the kiddies at 12:05pm. Adding credence to my theory........
