Mom to Brit -- I Have Rights Too!

Lynne Spears, Britney SpearsBritney Spears wants her mom, Lynne, to stay a country mile away from her kids. But the combination to the code that could give Lynne some serious legal firepower is 3104.

Specifically, Section 3104 of California's Family Code gives judges the power to award visitation rights to grandparents. Judges consider two factors -- if there's a preexisting relationship between the grandparent and the grandchildren -- in Lynne's case, there is.

The judge will also balance the benefits the child will get from visiting grandma against the rights of the parents to exercise their parental authority.

Here's where it gets interesting. If both parents nix the notion of grandma having visitation, there's a strong presumption the judge should deny grandma's request. So K-Fed may be critical if Lynne takes it to the judge. If Fed sides with Lynne, she'd have a shot.

31. brit is scared that mom will eventually have enough and get with kevin and take her to court to prove her unfit. it would not be a difficult feat what with all the media publicity.

32. if brit's mom is trying to patch things up, going the legal route is NOT the way. she needs to respect her daughter's wishes & give her time & space to deal with whatever she's got going on. forcing or threatening her using her kids as leverage is what put the rift between them in the first place. you never come between a mother & her child no matter who you are..unless the child is in danger & though britney might be a little "off" i'm sure her children..with nannies & bodyguards & assistants in tow, are not in any danger.
i doubt this is more than speculation but if it is true, the best way to guarantee she'll never again have a relationship with her daughter or her children is to go the legal route.
if you're a parent, ask yourself, what would you do if someone had the nerve to threaten to take your kids or take away your choice of what your kids do & who they see? probably the same thing brit did..just not in front of the world.
i can see the threats coming from kevin..or his mom..but not from her own!

33. lyn did say that britney is VINDICTIVE girl.....

Remember when Britney shamed all other women in the world with her indignant self-righteousness when she claimed she was a "virgin" and "saving herself for marriage????

Just as she believed then, she believes now that she is most unique and special person on the planet. She is playing the same saintly act, now. Just like she was NOT a virgin, she is lying to the world once again.

This time she is claiming to be the victim of some kind of parental abuse. I never believed her when she claimed to be virgin, and I don't believe her now with her new self-righteousness act that she was railroaded by her own mother. All she knows how to do is lie and create a fake image.

She behaves like a child imposing her own childish beliefs of right and wrong onto the public. She cannot admit or learn from her mistakes, that is why she was no true friends or boyfriends. She is a such a child and refuses to grow up and own up to her selfish,drunk, drugged and whorish behavior.

36. Britney is angry with her mom for speaking publicly about her, but meanwhile she reveals everything in the media?

Somebody, save her from herself.

37. This family is beyond hope. The mom deserves to see her grandkids. But she created the monster (Britney) herself in her stage mom obsessive behavior. You Ramsey types out there ought to be careful of what you wish for. Once a hick, always a hick.

38. Like/accept it or not, Kevin and Lynne are the only hope those boys have. Britney hasn't been a mother from day one and it only gets worse as time goes by. Sure, she has the title of mother, but it takes more than giving birth. She's an egg donor, nothing more....give the boys to Kevin or Lynne.

39. I do believe that her mother forced her into rehab, which was the wrong place for Britney. I don't think she ever had a drug or alcohol problem - I really think she was suffering from post partum depression. Don't get me wrong, I think Britney is an idiot and has about as much talent as a piece of poop, but there must be a good reason for her doing this. Her and her mother used to be extremely close, and we don't know the whole story here.

41. I have a friend whose mom sided with her son in law too. Then the mom married the son in law and the mom and the son in law got custody of the kids so their step mom is actually their grandma. Can you guess how jacked up those kids are now?

Of course, it Britney's case, I don't think any of them deserve the kids. They are all jacked up!

42. Dear Lynne, you might consider completely backing away from Britney for awhile. Don't contact her and do not respond to her (phone calls, letters), and STOP speaking to the media about your relationship with her. It only eggs her on. She seems to be in a protracted tantrum... and you are her favorite target. Why? Because you let it be known how much the rift hurts you and how deeply you want to mend your relationship. This makes Britney feel powerful... to see you hurt and beg and cry. Take yourself out of her game. I've seen the photos of her after she stunned you with her letter. She looks arrogant and proud... hurting you made her feel powerful. By removing yourself from her drama, it ends the power struggle your relationship has become. I know how hard it is to think you will not see your child or grandchildren again, but you cannot help Britney right now and a big court battle may be what it takes in the end to see your grandchildren... but it will only make things worse for everyone at present. I wish you the very best... and I believe with time, maybe a lengthy time, you will have your child and grandchildren back. I pray you will.

44. To No. 22 who played Devil's Advocate. As she mentioned in her story, it takes something horrific to happen to NOT let a person have visitation. From what I've seen and read, nothing like that has happened in connection with Lynn Spears, so there would be absolutely no reason for her to not be able to see the grandkids. If she was overheard saying that she didn't want Britney to find out she saw the kids by way of K-Fed, the reason would be because Britney is unstable and would go ballistic if she found out Lynn was visiting with the kids that way. Which is what Britney did. Britney has lost control, because KFed is looking more sane than her, and it is driving Britney more nuts, almost exponentially at this point. She is lashing out the only way she can figure. Also with making up stories as to why she went crazy on the photogs with an umbrella. She cannot control her immature anger. She has always had things done for her and taken care of by others, instead of learning life lessons by experience. She doesn't know how to handle things. That, or she is mentally ill. Either way, she's becoming unhinged. She is simply giving the judge every reason in the world to decide what is best for those kids.
