Lawyers for Britney Spears and Kevin Federline met at L.A. Superior Court this morning for a hearing in their ongoing custody battle.
No changes in the custody of their two sons were made. Therefore, Spears remains without visitation rights.
Spears’ father Jamie, her temporary co-conservator, was also present, as well as Anne Kiley, Spears’ lawyer from Trope and Trope.
Neither Spears, 26, or Federline, 29, were present.
At the beginning of the hearing, Kiley asked that a gag order be placed on those connected with the case.
A judge denied her request, explaining, “We’re dealing with very critical issues. The hearings are public. The public does have a right to know what the courts are doing.”
The courtroom was then sealed.
Though no major change in their custody arrangement was expected today, Federline wants Spears back in their boys’ lives. (TMZ.com reports that Federline would approve of Spears regaining visitation rights if her parents are also present.)
“Both sides want to see the day that visitation can resume. It is a question of working out details on how that can happen. Mr. Federline looks forward to his children having their mom in their life,” Federline’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told the press.
It’s been seven weeks since Spears has seen her boys, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 17 months, and Kaplan says Federline “is doing everything that he can to make up for the fact that the boys are with him and keeping family around and trying to have them not aware that there’s any change whatsoever.
“He’s doing great at being a parent,” Kaplan adds.
Federline, Kaplan says, “is evaluating two or three [acting opportunities] right now, and he’ll decide shortly which one he wants to put his energy into.
“Regardless, it won’t require him to be away from his children on any extensive basis,” Kaplan insists.
