Mom to Brit -- I Have Rights Too!

Posted Jul 6th 2007 4:55PM by TMZ Staff

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.

61. Children should never be used in a tug of war! I think Brit should lose custody of those kids. She is not the greatest example of what a parent should be.

65. The girl is a hopeless case. Britney is doing everything to destroy what is stable in her life. Poor Jayden and Sean.

66. GROW THE HELL UP! Why dont you go back to rehab, and get all the damn drugs out of your system. You didnt let you Mother see your kids on the July 4th why, because you had to go out with your friends, and do God knows what, with God knows who. Get yourself together, and maybe the world will take you serious. Other then that your washed up so get you large nose out of your ass, and get back into reatily!

67. I would need to be on meds too, if I had to see my daughter's cooter in the paper all the time.

68. Perhaps it is time to have DiLo step in and have a talk with Mama Spears! Boy Howdy has witnessed the incredible transformation that DiLo underwent when she dumped that loser husband and found a true soulmate in Stedman. By sharing her wisdom and contentment with either Britney or Mama Spears, perhaps a reconciliation will be in the works. The happiness of 2 sweet baby boys and their mother depends on it.

Britney - Boy Howdy and plas will keep you in their thoughts and send nothing but positive mojo in your direction.

Shalom everyone - even you hateful evildoers who wish the worst for our girl Britney.

71. #3....I agree, but then I wondered about "stability" for the children....THEN I saw an article about her other daughter, and she's moving into an apt with a guy?!! She's a puppy!!!! This family is just so trailor, a vicious cycle just keeps going and going and going.....They should all be spayed and neutered. Do the world a favor, one skank at a time, start with THE SPEAR'S!!!!!

72. What the he** is wrong with Britt? Her mom was the one there backing her for her whole entire life. As a mother her herself she should know how important a mother is in a child's life much less a grandmother. That is the backbone of the family. I understand she might be mad at her mom but she does not need to use them kids as pawns in her crazy circus game. she is the one that took her life in her own hands as she says and screwed it up. He mom was just trying to help her daughter get back on track. I'm sorry that she is from Louisiana, she makes all of us look bad. What a wannabe diva........... Grow up Britt you only got one mom and you never know what life will throw at ya......... one day your here the next your gone.......... You will regret what you are doing, for your sake I hope it's not to late when you do.

73. Britney is such a psychotic B*TCH!!

Those poor kids, gotta worry about them.

I truly hope Lynne takes the ungrateful wacko to court. You don't diss your mother...

Britney you really are a piece of s*it!!

Posted at 7:45PM on Jul 6th 2007 by Mama don't let your babies grow up to be like Britney

74. Britney's so stupid! She's gone crazy! All these stupid thing she's been doing, it's all leading to insanity!

75. what is so sad is that sean and jayden don't have a say in who can and cannot see them i mean if britney really loved her sons like she says she does she would not shut her mother out of their lives because her sons have a right to have some stability in their lives . and if britney does not allow lynne to see her grandsons they are going to grow up messed up . and they will feel that no one loves them
