Britney Spears' home is getting emptier by the day.
A court has ordered the pop princess and former reality-show star to give up custody of her two children effective Wednesday at noon. Full custody will be left to her ex-husband, One Tree Hill star Kevin Federline, "until further order of the court."
The ruling by Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon indicates that Federline's ongoing battle to gain full custody of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, has paid dividends. As part of his latest move, Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, went to court to raise the issue of Spears driving without a valid driver's license while her children were in the car this past weekend.
The court ruling is yet another blow for Spears since her widely panned comeback performance at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. Since then, her management and her attorney have departed and a former bodyguard has accused her of drug and alcohol use in front of her children.
Last month, a judge ordered Spears, 25, to submit to random, twice-weekly drug tests after finding she engaged in "habitual, frequent, and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol." The court also ordered Spears to spend eight hours per week working with a "parenting coach," who was to observe her interactions with her children.
The ruling goes even further than K-Fed's initial request to have custody arrangements (which had originally been 50/50) altered to be 70/30 in his favor. Gordon also told both parents to avoid alcohol and "other nonprescription controlled substances" 12 hours before taking custody of the children.
He further barred the exes from making "derogatory remarks about the other party and the other party's family or significant other" during the case.
Finally, he ordered the parents to go through "joint coparenting counseling" and barred them from using corporal punishment on the boys.
Spears and Federline, 29, were married in October 2004, and their divorce became final in July.

hope she'll get it together soon, for her sake and the kids!
This is what happens when young, rich celebrities get married and just pop out kids because they think they are old enough, or that money is just the answer to everything!! The court should not give the kids to Kevin either, another disaster in the making! Both of them should just grow up and take responsibility for the kids they have brought into this world! Kids are no joke nor a toy!!
I hope Britney shapes up soon, she's got so much going for her and she just doesn't appreciate it. Get into rehab and start taking life seriously. Enough with the antics, there are two adorable and innocent childred involved who needs their mother. Get help now, please...
Neither of them are the best parents. But the kids are better off not being in Britney's care. The woman really needs help and hope she gets it. My prayers are with her kids and hope they are ok.
it is about time I just hope this is the push to get it together and kevin does what is best for these kids
Ms. Britney Spears, Listen, I'm going to be straight up with you because quite frankly, you need it. I had 2 boys at exactly the same age you did and I was a single mom also. I did not, nor do I now, have your incredible looks. I did not have your incredible singing talent. I did not have your talent to host a concert in front of thousands of fans, to tour, do commericals or a movie or anything of the like. And I most certainly did not have access to your hard earned wealth. YOU are a stunning, incredibly talented young woman with 2 gorgeous sons. You are throwing your life away and for what? I would give my life to be able to provide financial stability and the connections and opportunities such as your sons have. Wise up girl. This is what you need to do, and I am speaking from experience here from someone who has walked the walk and 13 years later is still standing proudly. 1) Stop feeling sorry for youself, you are young, beautiful, incredibly talented and you have opportunities that most of us can't even imagine. Be thankful, pat yourself on the back, and then get over it. 2) Your son's come first. Your son's come first. Your son's come first. You don't need a tan. You don't need a wig, you don't need to shop (unless it's for the boys). What you need to do is shut out the whole world and be a mom. Sit down and play with the boys, talk to them, read stories play a game go to the park, swim in the pool, god do anything that that would be considered 'normal' and do as much of it in private as possible. 3) Girl, get rid of your friends....what the hell kind of friends would encourage you to leave your kids for any reason???? Again, your son's come first. 4) Forget the comeback right now. You want fans? You have 2 Brit, the 2 most important fans you'll ever have...your son's. They don't care if you make a comeback, they don't care if your not the Pop Queen of the world. You know what they do care about? Hugging you, kissing you, cuddling up to you, going for walks, on a swing, playing in the sand, sharing ice cream with you. All they want Brit, is your time, your time and your wisdom. Now let me say that for a young woman who has accomplished ALL that you have, God knows you have a LOT you can teach those boys. Ok, playing in the sand doesn't do it for you? Teach them to dance and love music and sing. Teach them to play an instrument so you can do things you all love together. 5) Forget Men....not just Kevin, all men. All the love you could ever want, need or get is within your sons. They will hug you when you need it without asking. They will share your joys and be there to hold your hand when you feel blue. You have a lifetime to find a guy, a great guy, a guy who deserves to be with you. Right now you life is a warzone...it's you and those boys against the world. The only one who can teach them and arm them with the tools they need to survive is you...so what the hell are you waiting for? 6) Be proud. Be proud of everything you have done. Now teach your sons' to be proud. Proud strong self confident loving kind generous talented young boys. This must come from you. It is your job Brit. If you have to, think of the boy's as you Next HIT record. I don't give a damn how you have to do it, but do it. 7) Forget the partying the social life all of it. The moment you had children Britney Spears did not exist. At that moment you became a MOM. That is your name, your title, the badge of honour you earned by giving birth...MOM. BE proud of it, YOU ARE A MOM!!!! If you want to be a good mother, surround yourself with people you think are good mother's. Arrange playdates, meet for lunch and coffees. Not only will you have someone to talk to who truly understands you, they will help to keep you sane AND they can give you tips on things like teething, potty training, teaching your boys to ride a bike, whatever. 8) Worse comes to worse, and you feel really desperate? You can pick up a phone and call someone who understands that you can be completely honest with and talk to. I know I am a total stranger and right now it feels like the whole world is against you. You are stressed over the kids and work and the media and you probably hate Kevin with ever fibre of your being one minute and miss him like crazy the next because you're alone...you're a single Mom. I get it. I want you to remember this always. You are amazing Britney Spears. There is no one else like you that has accomplished what you have done. BE proud and be strong. AND FOR GOD'S SAKE STOP THINKING OF YOURSELF, GROW UP AND PUT YOUR SONS' FIRST!!!!!!! "There is no such great a power, as the power that comes from within."
what are you folks smoking. KFed parties true, but not with the kids right there in the room. that alone should be enough to get the kids yanked away from Britney. give him a chance to show that he can be a real parent. Britney had hers and F'd it up big time.
Even know that she lost her kids i still think that she didn't want them in the first place thats why she did all those stunts on tv.
maybe she didnt really want the kids after all, she was doing all the wrong things and in the public eye.........
Who cares about her? No body.
I feel bad about her but she deserves it!
It's good it happened because Britney is obviously in no state to be a parent. Kfed is not much better. It's just sad. I think that Brit's drug use will end her overdosing,to losing everything, or to hit rock bottom and end up in rehab and finally turn her life around. I hope it's the later. I am a fan and I just hope she turns her life around. She doesn't care one lick about me or her fans but I don't care. My hope for her is that she gets well. Rock bottom is inevitable.
I totally agree with the courts taking Britney's kids away from her. This is an issue regarding safety and what is in the best interest of the children. Though K-Fed was, in the not to distant past, a partier. In recent months and in public, he has presented the image of being the "model citizen". Which is what really counts when it comes to the courts. No, it wasn't fair that he wasn't ordered to undergo drug testing like Miss Britney, however, he isn't the one who showed what should've been private to the world. Nor was he the one who shaved his head, had countless public tirades, or displayed irresponsible behavior. Apparently her kids meant very little to her, if they did, she would've followed the judges order. I hope it is but I don't think that this is rock bottom and will be the catalyst for change in her life. What she needs is to surround herself with people who have her best interest at heart and don't want to make their living off her back like that scummy body gaurd who is making the rounds in the press. She is also in need of counseling and could use someone like that Simone of American Idol...He would shame her by literally being downright honest with her about how she was screwing up her life....or maybe she could use a good dose of Dr. Phil.
This is great and everything, except I thought this was www.Tv.Com ? Or are we crying for attention by jumping on the Britney Spears bandwagon ?
I don't think either of them should get custody but I really don't think that Britney should have gotten custody. Give em' to Britney's mom or at least someone else who is somewhat responsible.
Good for her. This may be her kick back to reality. I hope she straitens her act once and for all. She might get her kids back but ... when she really gets her 'act' together!
The biggest losers in all of this are Sean and Jayden who didn't ask to have two disfuctional people for parents. One can only hope that they will grow up to have some sort or normalcy in their lives. It will be intersting to see if they write a tell all book about their lives with Britney and K-Fed when their older.
Although I think "Brit Brit" and "K Fed" are both bad parents I would agree that "K Fed" is the better choice as a parent. Everyone knew this happened sooner or later and yet everyone still seems to be shocked and this makes E! Headlines.
This is just very sad. When is Britney going to realize that all she's doing is throwing her life to the garbage? Does she want to end like Anna Nicole Smith? Is drinking, partying and just being a total bimbo and dumb really worth it?
only if i cared
Just a bad event to a bad year for Britney Spears and I really thought she wasn't gonna loose her kids.
None of our opinions count, this is pointless.
I want a horse.
It's so sad. There's not really anything to say. It's just a sad story. That hopefully won't end badly. It's kinda funny that Kevin is the responsible one. I didn't see that one coming.
I can't say if either parent is bad I have never met them. What I can say is that the courts are in my opinion the worst at choosing. If I had to make a choice I think the best solution would be something like super nanny etc. At least that way a more realistic picture might emerge and at best both Brit and Kev may be able to communicate properly without it going through lawyers the tabloids. The most important benefit being that the children would hopefully end up with two capable parents that will put their children FIRST.
Whatevs. I wish the best to all of them.
i think that people need to mind their own business ..and if Britney is such a "bad" mother how come the kids are in such good shape if she didnt take care of them ...would u be able to tell..so in my opinion she is a **GREAT** mother and deserves those kids..they need their mother and father .. to be in their life ..
The only examples that proves that Britney is a so-called "Bad Mother" is because of the stupid paparazzi that won't leave her alone and this Fat Tony guy who is making these ridiculous claims. I'm supporting Britney no matter what.
I think is the best for the children, anyone is better that crazy Brit
Britney left this reality a long time ago so the court did the right thing. I doubt Kfed is a good father but really the lesser of two evils and let's just hope he picks a good nanny to raise them.
Both of them are horrible, but I'd better choose Brit if I was the court. How could K-Fed take care of the kids? I feel so sorry for them. Why not just give them to their grandmother or someone who's better then their parents?
i think they are both not fit to be parents. Both of them are disasters, god help the kids.
Fed-EX its better? wow this girl needs to... well, do something! I really feel bad for her, though. Those kids are going to grow in a very intersting way... if you know what i mean...
Both are bad and idiots too bad the law says the next natural parent is next in line.
She deserved it. After all, she's all washed up.
Both are terrible examples and I doubt any of them is the right one to take care of the kids. Man, how can somebody go from having it all to having nothing?
stfu. both of them are terrible parents and terrible entertainers.
**** wat d hell wrong with kevin,,,,i think kevin should go away and leave brittany with her children cause a mother always knows best...o gosh after all she went thru now u will come and take her children,,,,ur an DICK kevin and well brittany no matter how mad u get i'll stil love u...doh study dat child thing u'll get to see them still,,,just kill kevin....lol............UR BIGGEST FAN TINY
Isn't this how all of them 'celebrities' end up like? And arent we al a bunch of drama hungry stargazers; that we let ourselves and our lives be influenced by some pikeys in a shiny suite doing tricks in front of the camera every day. Anyone with a gift (like singing, acting, dancing, writing, or any kind of artistry) has a responsibility to put that creative force to good use. Change lives for the better. But instead; most ''mainstream'' famous gimps have a personal agenda and benefit from it. So we live in a world where a company bred karaoke girl with a sexy outfit on can earn millions of dollars and spend it on sex, drugs and alcohol and still be adored and loved by millions of fans telling her shes the greatest person in the world. I got a newsflash for all of you people out there surfing the net for gossip and sex-tapes. Get your own life and pay attention to real artists that deserve the attention. peace out!
Many people here seem to "know" Britney very well... So I'll leave it up to you know-it-alls to discuss...
Tomtah you offend me... how dare you even back up those 2 pathetic excuses for human life.. Please get a job.
Those kids are gonna be screwed up either way...so I don't see how this really matters.
There just to much Britney all the time, everywere. If you can´t behave this is what happens, even if the father in this case maby is´nt the best choise.
Well neither parent is a great choice. But I'm glad Britney didn't end up with them. I mean to be honest she never acted like she wanted them. She knew that she was in a custody battle, and that every little thing she did would be reported to the press and studied by the judge. Yet instead of settling down, becoming a responsible parent and actually trying to fight to keep her kids, she was out partying alll the time, driving wrecklessly without license, shaving her head and flashing her business everywhere she went. That is how she chose to spend her time instead of evaluating her options with her lawyer and actually making a plan. I mean who could be surprised by this decision of the judge? It was obvious that she would never end up with the kids they way she was acting.
that is so sad i think britney should have both of the kids
Kfed was nothing till he met her! she's the money cow.( no pun intended) she needs help.
An Idiot for Our Times. What a screw-up. She even drives the kids when she's turning them OVER to Kfed's people. Let's hope Shar Jackson is there to mother those two..she seems to at least have a brain. Here's hoping Brit takes the hint, moves out of TMZ and gets some dang help. And a new weave. Good God, what a wreck!
Its funny how many people seem to know Britney Spears and Kevin Federline on this forum. Appearantly K-Fed "can't take care of himself" and "don't spend any time with his kids". And most importantly it's an established fact on this forum that he is a bad parent. HOW THE **** DO YOU KNOW?
One bad parent to anouther. Britney needs to to rehanb and acctually finish it. Keven needs to grow up and stop trying to be someone hes not.
They just went from one loser parent to another; you have to feel sorry for these children of celebrities who cannot get their stuff into one pile.
