Britney Spears was in court today – but this time she wasn’t in any sort of trouble. In fact the hearing was the result of all the positive progress Britney has made in the last few months. She was requesting extended visitation with her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James, who will be 3 and 2 years old in September. Britney was awarded overnight visitation, and it seems that all parties were happy with the decision.
Britney Spears has made a subtle change for the better—and, it follows, so too have her custody rights. This morning’s court session, attended by both Spears and Kevin Federline, resulted in “a change of visitation status” for the new aunt, Los Angeles Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini told reporters at a brief posthearing press conference. “Both sides have been very cooperative the past couple of weeks.”
While Parachini wasn’t spilling the beans, sources tell E! News that Court Commissioner Scott Gordon granted Spears overnight visits rights with sons Sean Preston and Jayden James. Federline still has primary physical custody of the boys.
The outcome seemed to sit well with both parties. When leaving the courtroom, Spears, 26, told reporters she was happy with today’s decision, and Federline, 30, made his way through the media scrum with a smile on his face.
Britney even showed up on time to the 8:30 a.m. hearing – though just by a few minutes. Still, it was all good progress. Britney is now being represented by her old lawyer Laura Wasser, having fired Stacey Phillips. Wasser wasn’t able to deal with Brit’s craziness several months back, so it’s another sign of progress that she was willing to take Britney as a client again.
According to E! News, Brit is hoping to eventually be granted permission to take the boys to Louisiana to meet their new cousin Maddie soon. It looks like Britney has made a lot of progress, and it’s great that’s being recognized.

Britney Spears “intends to return to Louisiana,” her mom
Lynne says in a declaration to the L.A. Superior Court filed Tuesday obtained by
Joynews.
“Britney has spent a majority of her time over the last five years in the state of California due in part to work but primarily with respect to a custody dispute currently ongoing,” Lynne explains.
Britney’s ex Kevin Federline has primary custody of their two young children, Jayden James and Sean Preston.
At Tuesday’s hearing, the court commissioner granted Britney’s father Jamie permission to sell the singer’s six-bedroom home in Beverly Hills, CA. (Because her father is her co-conservator, the decision to sell the home required a court’s approval.)
Though she has spent most of her time in Beverly Hills, Britney has owned a home in their hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana for the past eight years.
Britney and Jamie flew to Kentwood Wednesday for the birth of Britney’s younger sister Jamie Lynn’s baby, Maddie Briann, Thursday.

K-Fed wants another reality show. Apparently he wasn’t showcased in his first one, Chaotic, enough.
The reality show will show K-Fed with his two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and what fatherhood is like with them.
I wonder if the show will also feature his other two kids he has with actress Shar Jackson.
Anyways, Kevin has decided that due to the media frenzy surrounding him and his ex-wife, Ms. Britney Spears, he is going to postpone the taping.
Hopefully, it will be postponed indefinitely. I mean who really wants to see this gold-digger with Brit’s sons. I feel bad enough for the kids that they ended up with him. Now he wants to push more cameras in their faces. Yeah that sounds like a good dad to me.

Today, Court Commissioner, Scott M. Gordon, refused to grant Britney any visitation rights with her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
She hasn’t seen her babies in over a month now. She is only allowed telephone contact with her boys–but come on, have you ever talked to a 2 year old and a 1 year old on the phone? Not much can really happen when they don’t even understand what a phone is yet!
Given that lawyers on both K-Fed’s side and on Britney’s side both wanted some type of visitation to resume, you’ve gotta wonder in who’s best interest the commissioner and lawyers are acting upon? Apparently both sides want Britney to be able to have visitation but couldn’t come to an agreement on all the details, so all custody matters have been dismissed until the next hearing scheduled for scheduled for March 10th–so, another 20 days until there’s even a possibility that she may be able to see her kids again–isn’t that enough to make any mother go insane!?!
K-Fed’s lawyers issued this statement, “Both sides want to see the day when visitation can renew and the question of working out the details of how that would be implemented will probably take some time, but hopefully not that much time, hopefully. We are working to expedite that process, as it would be in the best interest of the boys.” If they really thought it was that important you’d think they could’ve done something more than what they did do today–which was absolutely nothing….
The Commissioner also refused to put a gag order on the case even though Spears’ lawyers argued that the media and paparazzi are putting Spears in emotional and physical danger in their attempts to continually gain information…apparently Commissioner Gordon agreed that the aggressive access to the singer and her custody battle was a legitimate issue, but one that is not the courts responsibility…it’s up law enforcement and the press to deal with–ah, ya…like that’ll work–why do courts have the option for gag orders then??? Making he’s seeking his 15 minutes of fame?
