Britney Spears failed to show up for the latest round of court hearings in her ongoing child custody case with ex husband Kevin Federline. The hearing was scheduled after Spears had a breakdown in front of the couple's two children.
Federline showed up in court sporting a new Mohawk. As of earlier this month Federline has been given sole custody of the couple's two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon had suspended visitation rights for Spears after she had a breakdown in front of her two young sons earlier this month. Police officers and other witnesses from that night were on hand to testify in today's court proceedings.
Today's proceedings were closed to the public.
Spears has continued to be on a downward spiral since the breakup of her marriage. Her children sadly were witness to the latest setback of the young mother. It has been said that Federline wants his sons to have a relationship with their mother but in light of the recent developments that may have to be put off until Spears is stable enough to take care of the boys when they are with her.
update:
The
court has upheld the decision to suspend visitation rights for Britney Spears. The children will remain in the custody of their father Kevin Federline.
The word victory is not something Mr. Federline or his counsel would ascribe to this. There is no joy. This is a grave situation for all," Kaplan said.
