Judge sets rules Britney Spears must follow in custody battle

by beagoodmom on September 26, 2007

A L.A. judge presiding over the Spears-Federline custody battle set a long list of requirements that each parent must follow in order to retain custody. Among the requirements:

  • Neither parent can take the kids out of state without written consent of the other.
  • Brit and K-Fed cannot make derogatory statements about each other.
  • Each must complete a parenting class.
  • No corporeal punishment.
  • No alcohol or non-prescription controlled substance within 12 hours of caring for the children.

Brit also has to:

  • Attend counseling once a week to address “parenting issues”
  • Meet with parenting coach for at least 8 hours a week, with the written report to be provided to K-Fed.
  • And submit to random drug/alcohol tests twice a week

Wow. Is that typical? At what point does the judge just say, “this cannot be fixed” and take custody away from her? Clearly the judge is aware of her issues. I feel bad for Britney in one way. She is not allowed to make mistakes privately and learn from them. And because of that, her mistakes keep snowballing. I think these requirements, besides being in the best interest of the kids, are meant to snap her back to reality and force an immediate and drastic change. From what I have read on the internet and in IN Touch Weekly though, she is defensive and these requirements will probably have the opposite effect on her.

no one is asking the question as to what else is going on did the judge decide to let go on. We all know you can’t attack everything at once…these were just the most agregious offenses. Can you imagine what these little boys have gone through if the parents have to be told not to do THESE things? Wow, it almost seems like they were working on being bad parents.
