Britney ordered to undergo drug testing
In a closed hearing yesterday, an LA judge set a lengthy list of rules that parents Britney Spears and Kevin Federline must adhere to in order to retain custody of their sons Sean Preston and Jayden James. The list, revealed today, includes the following shared requirements of the former pair:
- Neither Spears nor Federline can take Sean and Jayden out of state without the written consent of the other.
- The exes cannot make derogatory statements about each other.
- Both parents must complete the "Parenting without Conflict" program.
- Each party is restrained from using corporal punishment with the kids or allowing anyone else to.
- They are required to engage in joint co-parenting counseling.
- Neither party can consume alcohol or non-prescription controlled substances 12 hours prior to getting the kids.
- They must ensure that any prospective childcare professionals hold valid Red Cross infant CPR training.
The judge tacked on an extra list of tasks for Spears to complete in order to maintain the current shared custody agreement, including:
- Attending individual counseling to address parenting issues at least once a week.
- Meeting with a parenting coach for a minimum of 8 hours a week, in at least two sessions a week. The coach is to observe her interaction with kids and her parenting skills and provide Federline with a written progress report by October 22.
- And, "based on the evidence presented the Court finds that there is a habitual, frequent, and continuous use of controlled substances by Petitioner [Spears]," undergoing testing for controlled substances and alcohol. The testing shall be conducted twice per week on random dates and times, and the results will be forward to court.
