Custody Report Says Brit has "Issues"

Posted Apr 28th 2008 1:20PM by TMZ Staff

The parental bible in the Britney Spears/Kevin Federline custody war is in -- and it is powerful, folks.
Britney Spears, Kevin Federline
It's called the Child Custody Evaluation report. Sources say it is "several hundred" pages long, and lawyers for both sides received it on Friday. Our sources say the report is a "mixed bag" -- both encouraging and damaging for Britney.

The report, written by Dr. Jane Shatz, is extremely detailed. There is a hearing next week (May 6) in the custody case and the report could be all-telling.

And, sources say, the report "makes it more likely that Britney will show for the hearing."

Lawyers for both sides refused to comment or respond.

6. I think she's really trying and yes she just may relaps as soon as her dad is gone. But I really feel bad for her. It seems like it's one thing right after another for this girl.

7. Problem is the report was written when she was in a severe manic state. Now that she is being treated she obviously deserves a new evaluation.

8. When and where was Britney EVER diagnosed as being mentally ill? Where is this officially published? How could any of you possibly know she is any different than she was? She is a spoiled brat who didn't want kids anymore. Now she is being babysat by her father so she doesn't spend all the money he eventually wants someday. She is worthless as a mother and needs her parental rights terminated permanently. As soon as he is gone, she will be on the street at 3 AM flashing her stuff for the world. Nobody has ever confirmed she is mentally ill, so don't even try to tell me she is.

11. There needs to be more than one person writing this report. She has really improved lately. The one person report may be too nit pickey, and contain the bias of this one person, and her opinions. Some shrinks will be more laid back and some are positively anal in their ideas. As a teacher, I have seen some shrinks try to take kids away because the Mama is a smoker, or a messy (not dirty), house, These are not good things, however not everyone is perfect, like you and me. Maybe Brit's morals or spaciness, at times. They have to be convinced that she is taking an everyday schedule and an organized life seriously. It is extremely important for children to have stability in their home. An endless supply of men and oddball friends around them is also a nono, not to mention substance abuse, driving around aimlessly, etc. She is a sweet girl, she just needs to know WHAT to
do, then do it .

13. It may be "one thing after another" but she brought it on all by herself, and don't you forget it. It seems that life without responsibilities is what she likes best. Hell, she is not even able to stick to a diet and a sensible workout regimen. I say that leaving kids even for a moment alone with her is not safe and will never be. So I hope she never regains even partial custody.

14. What a load of s..h..a..t..z

15. Many junkies lose custody of their children, no big deal.
