Celebrity Justice
Judge to Brit -- You Got Substance Abuse Problems

The judge in the Britney Spears custody battle found that "there is a habitual, frequent, and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol by (Britney)." The judge has ordered Britney "to undergo testing for the use of controlled substances and alcohol." Testing will be conducted randomly twice a week.

According to judge's order, no changes were made yesterday in the custody arrangement. As we first reported, custody is split 50/50 between Britney and K-Fed. He wants to change it to 70/30 in his favor.

The documents underscore the bitterness in the custody battle. Judge Scott Gordon ruled that "Each party is restrained from making derogatory remarks about the other party and the other party's family or significant other..."

The judge also prohibits Brit and K-Fed from "using corporal punishment with the minor children and from allowing anyone else to do so."



The judge also ordered the battling parents "to engage in joint co-parenting counseling." The order continues, "Each party is ordered to complete the PARENTING WITHOUT CONFLICT program."

The judge went on, "Neither party shall consume alcohol, or other non-prescription controlled substance during or for the 12 hours immediately preceding any period such party is responsible for the health and safety of the minor children."

406. Big deal. As long as she has a prescription for the drugs, she'll be fine.

407. I'm not a britney fan but i do feel sorry for her. seems like whoever wrote this is the one with the real problem. you almost seem like a stalker who never got what they wanted because you're such a loser- or maybe you were just so jealous of britney in her better days that you couldn't let the opportunity slip away to kick her while she's down. either way you're the weirdo!

408. Aren' t there any ADULTS who care enough about these folks to step in and take care of the children and at least give K-Fed and Britt a chance to get their stuff straight. What a hopeless mess!! Been there and seen that with a family member. Someone in the family has to step up to the plate.

409. All of the people in Brittneys' life are to blame for her problems. Her parents, her husband, her lawyers, her publicists, the paps, her drug dealers, her so called friends. If someone I loved was going through all of these problems and changes, I would slap some sense into them and try to help. As long as people are making money off of her, they will keep on doing it until she crashes and burns. Then everyone will say "Poor Brittney". This girl does not stand a chance and I feel so sorry for her and her children. No one else. If Kevin was a real man, he would say "I don't want any money, I just want my kids safe and healthy." That's just not going to happen.

410. What's everyone going to blog when she commits suicide or overdoses? Then will you people be kind?

411. The judge should have ordered drug testing on both parents. I feel Kevin also does drugs (undercover). He may as well get everything out in the open to see what's really going on.

414. What a sad situation.

415. K-Fed was really trying to get more support. He recently said his spousal support would end in October and he needs more money. So K-Fed got court orders for some of the people around Britney to testify and they said what he wanted. The judge knew exactly why K-Fed was there. It's all in the file in court. His support would end at the end of this month. 25,000 per month. This is why the judge ordered what she did. It is not only Brittney but K-Fed.. The joint session is not going to work right now. Too much anger going on between the two of them. I hope their Attorney's tell them both that whatever goes on in the room will be sent to the Judge for review and finding. This is a fact finding mission for the court. To see which parent should have custody or will it remain the same. They may let the children enteract with each parent.

You must have gone to court without an Attorney. My husband took me to court for joint custody and I agreed and he still pays full support. Men sometimes just do this for the money. This is California things work a little different here. I sure all of you guys see it everyday.

417. We all as citizens should be more afraid of BRIT going pantiless on any given day...due to the discharge that must be seaping on to every chair in LA< BH

Karen (412), I hadn't thought about the kids having fetal alcohol syndrome - that's skeery to think about, and good for KFed to be sticking around if that's the case.

As for CA being lax in dealing with stuff, I hope that at least this Judge may be tough. I don't understand about the drug tests results being secret and sent straight to him - does he notify Child Protective Services if there is a problem?

There is a lawyer who has posted about the Court Order here, and it does sound serious for Britney -- it's also got a link to the order if you want to read it.

419. #411-

You are a great example of why we are considered a nation of Idiots. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, huh?

Wow. Lucky for Britney and Kevin that YOU were able to clairvoyantly realize this. As I am sure neither one of them has ever visited a pediatrician, and are totally dependent on YOU THE GREAT GODDESS OF FOSTER CHILDREN to tell everyone their children have FAS and their mothers are mentally ill.

What a stupid freaking bitch. No wonder Britney is crazy. I would do violence to someone like you making up absurd diagnoses for my children if you did that within ten feet of me. I cannot imagine what it's like having the whole world patting their overblown, fragile egos with my life (as you have done here).

420. britney..show that loser that you can take care of those boys...kfed has a history of leaving his children behind...it will happen again...and surely you can see that everything he does is for money....yours!!! he left at least one woman, and his children for money....your money!! and, when he finds another hard working woman with money, where will your boys be then?? if he takes them you will pay out your hardearned money to him! will it benefit your sons?? hell, no...you can straighten out, girl! just do it...save your reputation, and your life, and your boiys, NOW...while you still can.
