This past Friday, the Los Angles County Commissioner in everybody’s favorite custody battle, Britney v. K-Fed, ordered that Ms. Spears’ deposition go forward.  However, the Commissioner rejected the request of Federline’s attorney that the deposition be videotaped.  Typically, depositions are not taped unless it appears a witness will be unavailable at a hearing or trial.  PHATLAW is inclined to think that Federline just wanted something to remember what is certain to be a legal slugfest.

PhatThought:  Who would have thought Ms. Spears would ever be camera shy?

Today’s court hearing, that lasted nearly three hours, resulted in Kevin Federline retaining custody of his children he has with Britney Spears. The Former Pop Princess received monitored visitation. The next court hearing is scheduled for October 26th.

For today’s court appearance, Spears didn’t even bother showing up. Her lack of attention to this matter (from her failed appearance today to her failure to adhere to the court’s orders) likely contributed to K-Fed retaining custody. Spears’ partying and reports of drug use likely contributed to the Judge’s order that she receive “monitored” visitation. Monitored visitation means that a third party must be present at all times during Spears’ visits with her children.

PhatThought: Britney has no problem showing up to celebrity hot spots like the Ivy or Pure, but routinely fails to appear in the custody battle involving her children. WTF!!!!!!!!

PHATLAW has learned that L.A. County Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon issued a court order today awarding Kevin Federline physical custody of the two boys he has with Britney Spears. The Former Pop Princess has no one else to blame for her lost of custody, but herself. She ignored the Judge’s orders at every possible turn. For instance, the Judge ordered Spears to meet with a drug counsel. Spears said F you to that. The Judge ordered Spears to enroll in parenting classes. Spears said I don’t think so to that one. The Judge ordered Spears to sign the court order. Spears said Oh Hell No! Also, the Judge told the Rehab Princess to not drive her kids unless she obtained a valid California driver’s license. Spears said I’ll drive my kids wherever and whenever I want to that one.

Essentially, the Judge got fed up with Spears’ antics and utter disregard for his orders. So, he has punished her in the ultimate way possible – he has taken away her kids. Apparently, Spears’ actions have led the Judge to believe that she is an unfit parent and that the kids are better off with the Money Grubbing One.

PhatThought: PHATLAW suspects that K-Fed will be contacting Spears soon for a money exchange for the kids.

Not everyone loves Britney these days.  Recently, K-Fed’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, filed court papers demanding that the Britney Spears pay his legal fees related to the custody battle.  This demand was likely prompted by the recent court documents which revealed that Spears’ average income is $737,868/ month.  That’s a lot of duckets for a flailing Pop Star who hasn’t recorded a hit song in years.  Read the rest of this entry »
