K-Fed's Lawyer Headed to Court

Posted Jan 4th 2008 10:31AM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, will scurry to court this morning at 8:30 AM and ask the Commissioner to strip Brit of her visitation rights -- at least for now. We're told there may not be much of an argument and it's almost certain the Commish will see Kaplan's point. Attorney Tara Scott from the law firm of Trope and Trope will represent Brit -- awkward, since the firm has asked to withdraw as counsel.

As we reported, Britney is at Cedars-Sinai on a "5150 hold," meaning there's evidence she's a danger to herself or others -- others as in her kids.

Here's what's interesting. We've been reporting for several months now that Britney doesn't have a drug or alcohol problem -- that her instability is mental, not chemical. Well placed sources tell us what happened last night is not rooted in drugs, and that of late, her mental state has deteriorated to the point that what happened at her home was not unexpected.

Stay tuned ...

91. BAHAHABWAAAAHAHAHA!!! She shoulda neva, eva touched that devil's cup in the first place - EVERYONE knows if one is raised in the Bible Belt of America, and one then chooses to "take a drink from my Devil's cup", as she claims in her song TOXIC, that said one will LOSE their sanity! Remember the crazy man and the pigs? Well there are no pigs for Twit.

92. Kaplan rushed to Court for his photo opportunity and to get lowlife K-Dud custody. This afternoon he will probably rush to Court to try to steal all of Britney's money. Would you people make fun of people with heart disease or cancer? Mental Illness is just as horrific. Show a little compasion and stop being so judgmental.

95. Ever since the head shaving/umbrella wielding incident, I've been saying that the poor girl is obviously bipolar (manic-depressive). She's the perfect age for onset and bipolar patients frequently self-medicate with drugs and alcohol to hide their symptoms. No, she doesn't need to have custody of her children right now but she does desperately need treatment. I pray that somebody with authority will step in and see that she gets the Lithium or whatever medication that she needs. If not, there's no hope for her or her future relationship with her sons. Please--somebody help her!

96. K-Fed makes me want to freaking puke. He has totally taken advantage of this troubled girl from the day he said "I do." This girl is in the middle of a breakdown and all that bastard can do is make things worse. I don't believe for a second that he gives a damn about those boys. And now eveyone thinks those babies are better off with him then they were with their mother? Someone shoot me!

97. I hope the commish will finally do the right thing and take away ALL custody rights. There were a few laws broken here and the best thing that could happen to Britney now is to be held for evaluation, charged with whatever crimes that were committed, do a little jail time and be forced into a REAL psyciatric/rehab program. Otherwise, she will either harm her kids or be dead before long...

98. Sad for those kids when the mother's a danger to them. I was so worried she'd harm those poor little boys. God help them!

99. Laura,

100. Say a prayer for her.....you know that might just help!

101. Dr. Keith Ablow is on TV right now talking about what should happen and he is talking about getting her evaluated by the mental health system. She may be using drugs to self medicate but you guys are just being cruel. She has been allowed behave this way and that is why it is getting worse. I mean she has mental issues, why else would she be smiling in the freaking ambulance???? C'MON People

102. Again , this is not funny. This is way too sad and you people have no morals
How can you look yourself in the mirror everyday.
I hope you all are proud that you drove someone over the edge

103. Boo hoo. People still making excuses for her.

Blame the press.

Blame us.

Blame her parents.

Blame kfed.

Blame the psycho space aliens that took her brain...

Blame everyone for everything other than Brit herself.

Fact is, her entire life is the press. She's even shaking up with one lately. I really wouldn't be surprised that she's preggers with the pap's baby already and the kid already has a camera and will be providing live footage from the womb on TMZ.

She'd be up for that! I mean Jamie Lynn doesn't have that! In your face teenage drama stealer!

104. Brit - come marry me...it has been lonely since my wife "disappeared". I am a media whore too...the paps have not been around my house for weeks and even Greta from Fox News left me...I bet if you come out here they will all come back for sure! I may even make cash off an OK! photoshoot!

- Love Sgt Drew

105. Man, I'm no Britney fan but we all need to pray for her and her sons. I think she is having one hell of a nervous breakdown. In public. If she recovers and then tries a comeback, I think it will rock.
