Britney Spears Gets Joint Custody But Must Undergo Regular Drug Tests

Britney Spears has had one of the worst weeks of her life first of all she bombed her VMA performance then she lost her lawyer and her manager.
But one good think that has come out of this week is that she gets to keep her joint custody of her kids.

A spokesman at Britney’s new lawyers firm Freid and Goldsman said that yesterday’s hearing affirmed Britney’s and Kevin’s joint custody agreement.

Although Britney did not lose custody of her children she’s going to have to undergo routine drug tests, individual counselling and meet with a parenting coach if she wants to keep seeing her children.

Here is the full list of requirements the judge imposed on Britney and Kevin

1. Neither Britney or Kevin can take the kids out of state without the written consent of the other.

2. They cannot make derogatory statements about each other.

3. Both parents must complete the “Parenting without Conflict” program.

4. Each party is restrained from using corporal punishment with the kids or allowing anyone else to.

5. They are required to engage in joint co-parenting counselling.

6. Neither party may consume alcohol or non-prescription controlled substances 12 hours prior to getting the kids. •”based on the evidence presented the Court finds that there is a habitual, frequent, and continuous use of controlled substances by Petitioner [Spears],” undergoing testing for controlled substances and alcohol. The testing shall be conducted twice per week on random dates and times, and the results will be forwarded to the court.

7. They must ensure that any prospective childcare professionals hold valid Red Cross infant CPR training.

While the responsibilities for Kevin end there, Judge Gordon tacked on an extra list of tasks for Britney to complete in order to maintain the current shared custody agreement. Those individual rules include:

1. Attending individual counselling to address parenting issues at least once a week.

2. Meeting with a parenting coach for a minimum of 8 hours a week, in at least two sessions a week. The coach is to observe her interaction with kids and her parenting skills and then provide Kevin with a written progress report by the 22nd October.
