Celebrity Justice
Commish to Brit -- Nighttime Is the Right Time

Britney Spears will get one overnight visit with her kids per week -- at least for now.

L.A. County Court Commissioner Scott Gordon partially accepted her lawyer's plea to give Spears monitored overnight visitation. Spears, who was in court, was sworn in as the afternoon hearing began. She testified, but we don't know what she said.

Spears left the courtroom visibly upset. The overnight visits will be monitored. The parties have not reached an agreement on choosing a different monitor than the one who is already in place.

A court spokesman said today was the result of a compromise between the two sides -- Brit wanted more, K-Fed didn't want her to have any overnights.

K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said after the hearing that he met with Brit's lawyers during the lunch hour. The attorneys told the court that they all agreed to "slightly increase" Brit's visitation. In other words, K-Fed agreed to give Brit a break, and a chance.

Kaplan said protections were in place for the kids.

some of the positive feed back on BRitney are either her very young fans or other Mom's who have been through not only custody But divorce.some woman hold themselves to very high standards yet have experienced hardship and difficult moments in life and see Britney's problems mirroring their own experience, and still their are some who see a young girl they watched on the Mickey mouse club and dont want to watch her to fall apart and lose what many hold so important.
I for one see a mom who has made mistakes as we all do and in the last week has had a rude awakening and wants her children back .I think Britney has a very long road to Travel and hope she gets therapy while on that road so she may self reflect and get healthy.I know she brought this all upon herself as WE all do with our problems, she has made some major parenting mistakes but its nice to see her trying to make it right.I hope she learns to appreciate her children in all of this and I think she will



Shar gets 23% of K-feds..uh Britneys income
I would say Kevin is the damm Daddy Iv ever seen even if he huniliated me in public and stressed out my prego ass..I know she is not getting any income now and sais she does not want any but come now..

77. Now people are blaming the judge. Wow hope you guys never get on a jury. What there is evidence the defendant murdered 10 people but the jury found him not guilty because he entertains them..

I don't know if britney is a good mom or bad mom so you know what i do i keep my mouth shut and only give my general opinion. all you guys talking about brit and kfed like you know them personally are crazy and pathetic.

I will say it again crazy and pathetic!!

80. I hope very much that Britney understands that this is a TEST, and doesn't indulge in her usual behavior around the boys; i.e. exposing their baby eyes to the bright sunlight while seeking out paparazzi with her convertible top down, dragging the crying boys in and out of shops and restaurants "forgetting" her panties, crashing her car, drinking excessively, smoking around them - the list goes on. If she goes out at night and leaves the boys with a monitor, she may just as well kiss them goodbye.

82. so where is HIS DRUG SCREENS ETC?????

drugs aren't the end-all-be-all in determining an "unfit" parent. No need to collect evidence for a claim that has never been made.

Flashing privates, clubbing all night every night, drugs, giving kids soda, etc. are all evidence in support of a claim that a judge found legitimate.

It wasn't rocket science.

83. On a separate note, if they (courts) do give him custody, he should get the state minimum for child support and lose the spousal support (not like he earned it), let him live on that, I bet he would beg her to take the kids just like my ex-wife did when she was rewarded the minimum, she cold not afford to raise our kids and have them!.

84. You go girl!!

No more money to K-Fed.
He needs to go back to work.

86. I never was a fan of Britney until she started going through a hard time. Seeing everyone kick her when she is down is really disgusting on so many levels. People respond differently to heartbreak than others. It doesn't make you crazy, only makes you human! This girl has been through it and still manages to get out of bed in the morning? I daresay a few of the losers here would have given up long ago. I understand it's difficult to put yourself in another person's shoes (especially if you are a self-riteous, shallow or narrow-minded person) but it never hurts to try.

You will get your babies back Britney. It's just a matter of time. Hang in there!!

87. Everyone has an opinion on this subject, but by all accounts, exactly what has she done to put these children in danger? Shaving her head, flashing her privates, putting on a bad performance do NOT make a bad mother. Tacky yes, bad mother, NO. She has passed her drug tests, so exactly what is the problem, except that Kevins money runs out at the end of this month. I admit her personal life, at least what is reported about it is out of whack, but nothing anyone has reported warrants taking these children from their mother. The only thing I ever saw was driving without them being in a carseat, haven't seen her do that anymore. Someone please clear this up for me, what that involves these kids has she done to warrant this???

88. She looks like Tom Cruise!

89. K-FED WAS GIVEN THE OPTION OF MAKING A DECISION BECAUSE HE IS THE PETITIONER IN THIS CASE. HAD THE TWO SIDES BEEN COMPLETELY UNABLE TO MAKE A DECISION, THEN THE COMMISSIONER WOULD HAVE STEPPED IN & MADE A DECISION THAT PERHAPS NEITHER SIDE WOULD HAVE LIKED.

WHAT THE COMMISSIONER DID IN THIS INSTANCE WAS SIGN OFF ON WHAT THE TWO PARTIES WERE ABLE TO COMPROMISE ON.

90. well put rock iq.....Lest we forget, Kevin left the kids in Brit's care for the past two years....his ONLY concern is for his own well being. Who exposes infants to pink eye, concerned parents? Kevin is a mooch and a loser, and got way more than the prenup said, just for the LIVING HELL he has put Brit thru. I hope her attorneys file a civil suit against Fat Tony, and another against Kevin. Kevin is in violationof the 20 year silence agreement he was WELL PAID for. Look it up on CNN. This whole thing is sickening, just sickening...drug addict my fanny....she may act out, but hey, she is an international SUPERSTAR...good luck to Brit and to heck with all ya'll hater's...
