Celebrity Justice
The Real Story Behind Britney's Visitation

Britney Spears has the same visitation rights she had before ticking off the judge last week.

As we first reported, Brit's visitation was suspended after L.A. County Commissioner Scott Gordon learned the drug testing people couldn't contact her for the random drug tests. What has not yet been made public is that Britney's visitation was automatically reinstated when she could show proof she had a phone that would make her reachable.

Brit's peeps submitted documentation of the phone, and her visitation is the same as before; regular day visits and one overnight a week.

That could all change on Friday, when Spears and K-Fed are due in court. Sources say Spears will probably ask that the 50/50 physical custody be reinstated. We know K-Fed had been pressing for 70/30, but he still could try and draw a harder line.

48. Britney Spears has regained visitation rights of her sons, Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, PEOPLE has learned.

The singer on Saturday was spotted driving with her children in Studio City, Calif., in her white Mercedes convertible, which was decorated with pumpkins on the dashboard.

A presumed court-appointed monitor was seated in the front seat, with her sons in the rear.

On Wednesday, L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon had temporarily suspended her visitation rights. A source close to Spears told PEOPLE the judge removed her rights after the pop star was unreachable by a cell phone designated for court-related scheduling.

On Thursday, Kevin Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said he expected Spears would get visitation reinstated soon because "she has complied with the part of the order [causing the suspension]."

Lawyers for both sides did not respond to calls for comment.

Spears and Federline are both required to show up for their next hearing on Oct. 26.

50. I also can't believe how you Britney fans can't seem to understand she is a grown woman with the same ability as you and me to say NO..

#47 You hit the nail on the head! I agree with you 110%. It seems like her defenders think that she never makes bad decisions or that she's not accountable for her own actions. Britney is an adult, people, she is 25 years old. I read a post yesterday where someone described her as a young girl. Her behavior is child like, but she is an adult and needs to start acting like one. If everyone stopped making excuses for her, then maybe she would be forced to start taking responsibility for her actions. You can't blame K-Fed for everything that she's done. She has free will and the means to pretty much live however she chooses.

She is basically giving the court the finger every time that she doesn't comply with court orders. This judge is not being mean or picking on her, he is trying to protect the interests of two very small boys. Submitting a working phone number so that the drug testing people can reach her is pretty simple, yet she did not comply. Why? Obviously she did something that made Scott Gordon feel that she should submit to random drug tests.

53. #49 stupid person------You are obviously 12 years old, or a drag queen, or both, which are the only fans this piece of garbage has. Who cares if she gets to see them for a minute? She will screw it up again because she doesn't want them, that is obvious to anyone who is not stupid. Look in the mirror, you will see yourself, stupid.

54. #46 oh good Lord will you take the blinders off and see the reality of the situation!! You are of the assumption that one person is all good and one is al bad. It's never that way. I'm personally not a fan of either of them but I do want to see their boys get the life they deserve. While you may be right as to Kevin's reasons for hooking up with Britney do you also remember he was with someone then...someone pregnant? Was it ok for her to move in on him during that time? It's also possible that he's grown up since then. Shar herself states he's a great dad. Britney has been labeled a habitual user of drugs. Do you honestly think the judge would remove her kids for anything less than believing them to be either not properly cared for or in some danger? I don't..taking kids from a mother is usually a last resort. No matter what the reason they are in the care of Kevin. Obviously the court believes he's better able to take care of them. Maybe try looking at both sides instead of believing your hero(?) is not capable of doing something to warrant her kids being removed.

56. Britney IS childlike, but hey, thats ok because she can relate
very well to her last 5 or 6 fans, they of course being in their "tweens"

57. wendy my binders have been off,I have not said she is perfect by any means but if he that concerned he would want them 100 % of the time,shar also said he sold and smoked pot ,no woman can take a man away unless they are willing to do so,she is worth alot of money and personally I believe he seen that as a ticket but that is just my opinion we are all entitled to them,also I think k-fed and HIS lawyer are taking advantage of the court system like other celebs do not just them.
