Celebrity Justice
Custody Report Says Brit has "Issues"

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.

46. Yeah, even if Papa Spears manages to drag Britney, kicking and screaming, to the hearing, I agree that there is no way that she'll end up with anything better than joint custody.

The courts prefer that kids be able to see both parents, and however much of a screw-up K-Fed might be, Britney is much worse.

47. K-Fed is a money grubbing, lazy, no-talent, lowlife, dimwit. The nanny's take care of the boys while he spends Britney's money on Shar, partying, and assorted whores. He is NOT a fit father. Better the kids be with forster parents. Does the idiot plan to mooch off of Britney for the rest of his life ?

48. There is no way that she will go and participate in the hearing. They may get her in the door, but that's as far as they'll get her. Those children deserve more than being placed in fear of their (very) part time mother. Think of them, not her ridiculous image.

"Continental Belt," for $10.99!!

50. Seriously ppl, Brit needs to be left alone. You'll never know who I am, but I will say this; she is hurting, and is in her twenties. What do you expect. She DOES want her kids. She DOES love them. She is in GOOD condition now. Kev. is being a decent father right now; however, he does have his own agenda. Think ppl. Joey.

Britney is a lazy, immature, totally irresponsible dimwit. To her, the boys are playthings that make her feel like a "mommy", until she gets tired of taking care of them and goes out to have sex in a gas-station bathroom and to show her coin purse to the world. She is NOT a fit mother. Better that the kids be with foster parents. Does the idiot think that the money she earned in the past will last for the rest of her life at the rate she's been p*ssing it away?

Posted at 5:10PM on Apr 28th 2008 by Britney is worse than K-Fed

52. Joey, she doesn't deserve your kind words. Only time will tell.

53. Given that the Child Custody Evaluation Report is "several hundred" pages long, we can count on the fact that the TMZ reporters won't even attempt to read it, once it becomes public. Of course, lack of valid information has never stopped the TMZ staff before ...

54. They shared joint custody before, but Britney had PHYSICAL custody. Now that Kevin has PHYSICAL custody is why Britney has to pay HIM CHILD SUPPORT. Once she gets PHYSICAL CUSTODY back AND SHE WILL, Federsleeze will get cut off the Britney gravy train FINALLY. Then there goes the mansion he's living in LMAO! Kevin HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THE MONEY. He didn't file for custody UNTIL HIS SPOUSAL SUPPORT WAS DUE TO RUN OUT! THAT'S A FACT Y'ALL!!!

55. Britney, get yourself to court and fight for those babies. They need you and you need them. Just imagine the life they must be living with k-dead. Thank GOD for the nanny and the bodyguard. At least the kids are being exposed to people who actually love and work for a living. Two boys being raised in that house are bound to be low-life, money grubbing, lazy asss, alcoholic, drug addicted, womanizers if you don't get them out of there.

GO TO COURT AND FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL FOR THEM!!!

You're back and you're beautiful and you're rising to the top AGAIN. Leave the ex-bottom feeder with as little as humanly possible.

56. Hope they don't rush to get her kids bac kto her. She's still crazy.......she's just playing sane for awhile til she free to proclaim once again, "It's Britney, Bitch!".

57. To DJ: would you care to make a bet? I'll wager that Britney won't do better than Joint Physical Custody (i.e., 50% of the time at each parent's home). Actually, she'll be lucky to get even that much.

Currently, Britney is under a conservatorship because of mental problems. I don't believe that any judge would give her Full Physical Custody until she is shown to be responsible enough to care for her children, which means that she first has to show that she can care for herself. As long as the conservatorship continues, it will be almost impossible for her to demonstrate that.

58. Mental issues are not "curable" but rather "manageable", should the person diagnosed with the problem CHOOSE to continue whatever therapy (pharmaceutical or otherwise) prescribed by his or her physician. Problem is, many who suffer the type of problems she has had tend to self-medicate. They get better, so they stop taking meds, or change their meds, without doctor's input. Next thing you know, they're off the deep end again. She won't be under a conservatorship forever, and she won't have her parents so closely involved in her life. K-Fed has said he wants Brit involved, and he's backed it up with visits. Right now those boys are safe and in a stable environment. Leave well enough alone.

Well, someone is posting with the name I usually post with. That's OK. Posting names are NOT unique.

As for me, I don't think Britney will get any custody at this time. I think she will only get visitation that is monitored for at least another six months. The thing is, that the public really doesn't know what went on with her standoff in January, but the court really does know. My feelings are that since two ambulances were called to her house, - that she must have made threats to injure herself and Jayden.

It has only been three months since she has been under the conservatorship. It's good that she is trying to get her life together, and is now keeping DAYLIGHT hours, like the rest of the world. Maybe things will workout for her in the long run. Her sons are just toddlers. They actually need a regular routine to their lives to develop into normal children.

Unlike the other DIANE T, I would never speak harshly of Kevin Federline. I think he has done well by them, and obviously the court agrees with me, since he has physical custody of them.

It would be a good idea if she shows up for court on May 5th. Maybe she will.

60. DIANE T we know you don't post that way and that it was an imposter. It's just not your style. We can't wait until May 5th.
