Britney Spears Wins Overnight Visitation With Her Kids
Earlier today Britney Spears, armed with her once-estranged lawyer Laura Wasser, faced off with Kevin Federline, armed with his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan, in family court seeking a change in visitation rights with her children. Spears showed up in court to ask Commissioner Gordon to grant her overnight visitation with her sons Sean Preston and and Jayden James … and she won! Altho, US Weekly (who managed to get a quote from Britney as she exited the courthouse) reports that Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini was not “at liberty” to discuss the change, TMZ is reporting that Britney won her overnight visits:
Britney Spears was granted a change in her visitation schedule with her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James at a hearing Tuesday. “There was a change in visitation status that was ordered by Commissioner Gordon this morning,” Los Angeles Superior Court spokesperson Alan Parachini confirmed after the hearing, which both Kevin Federline and her father (and co-conservator) Jamie Spears attended. (Britney and Kevin did not address each other during the hearing.) The details of her visitation, however, are unclear. “I’m not at liberty to answer any questions about the nature of that change,” Parachini said … Asked by Us if she were happy with the court outcome, Spears (clutching an Ed Hardy purse) smiled and told Us, “Yes.” Next up: A status hearing set for July 15.
But according to TMZ: Sources tell us Brit Brit, who has been slowly gaining visitation back inch by inch, has made such progress the Commish agreed in court today she’s ready to have sons Jayden James and Sean Preston with her overnight. We hear Britney’s parenting coach Lisa Hacker was at the hearing today, and answered several questions from the Commish. Britney, who was all business in the courtroom, smiled as she left the courthouse.
Woot! Clearly, Laura Wasser is worth her weight in gold. She is an amazing attorney so this win for Britney is not a surprise to me. I’m happy that Brit has made such great strides in proving to the court that she is capable of caring for her children again. Her life is well back on track … it won’t be long until she’s 100% back to her good ol’ self again. Biggest comeback in history, it’s gonna happen.

Yep, she is doing SO well. She deserves this. I think when she comes back (which she is obviously doing right now) she will be better than ever. You can’t go through all of ‘that’ and not be better for it coming out the other side.

Britney deserves her kids back. Everyone who’s still trashing her needs to shut up. She’s doing great and should be commended for it. Good job girl!

Rather than Laura Wasser, I think it’s Britney herself who’s had a big hand in this turnaround. It’s really heartening to see how she’s turned her life around. Her dad does deserve a medal, if only for allowing her to take control of her life again (by controlling it himself for a while, when she was in no position to do so herself).
I now believe that we will see great things from her. Quite different from her air-headed bubblegum existence from the past. Even when she was at the lowest point, the album she produced was way above in ‘REALNESS’ to her earliest and most successful material. To think that she came out up with Piece of Me, when she was literally in pieces herself, is quite remarkable.
Another thing that is really heartening to see is the change in little Jayden James (who - as is actually nice to note - we haven’t seen that much anymore recently - methinks, somebody has finally learnt the lesson that children don’t thrive in the media glare). Anyway, this little boy has grown from an always unhappy looking child with a strange uncertain expression on his face to a confident and happy little chap, and it is my firm belief that this is because he’s finally getting to see his mummy again, and a happy mummy, at that.
Altogether, this is really great news!

THE BIGGEST COMEBACK IN HISTORY! YAY!
Coming Soon…

Shame she has to fight for the basic rights of a mother … she has lost so much time with those kids at such a young age. She may have ‘lost it’ a couple of times but I doubt she was ever a risk to her children. Who is monitoring Kevin’s house? Who is the caregiver there? Is he being drug tested? - I doubt it. Sexism at it’s worst.

I don’t think it’s BRITNEY who deserves the kudos, I think it’s her dad who should get them. KFed is a good dad, I agree, and so does Shar Jackson. Jamie Spears shoulda got dad of the year. He put his foot in her ass and got shit done!!! She wasnt right there for a while - we all agree on that. Kfed only has to deal with three year olds - Jamie has to deal with grown ass women…That poor man!!! Not just Brit but JL too!!! Let’s hope Brian (the brother) shows some responsibility to the Spears name and makes Daddy proud!!! (Lord knows Lynne hasnt done anything..She’s like Dina Lohan but not as loud…)
