Britney Spears loses new custody appeal

Judge says she can only see sons Sean Preston and Jayden James three times a week

Britney Spears lost a new custody appeal yesterday.

The singer was hoping to get a 50-50 arrangement with ex-hubby Kevin Federline, 29, after losing custody of sons Sean Preston, 2, and 1-year-old Jayden James on 1 October.

But Los Angeles court judge Scott Gordon ruled she can only see the boys three times a week.

His decision was based on a report by officially-nominated parenting coach Lisa Hacker, who had watched the troubled star in a supervised session with her kids.

The report claimed Britney, 25, ‘rarely engaged with the children in conversation or play’, that the boys had no real routine, and that Britney too often put herself first.

‘It seems her choices are dependent more upon what she wants to do at any given time rather than what would be more enjoyable for the children,’ the report says.

‘The environment at the house ranged from chaotic to almost sombre with little communication at all.’

The ruling means Brit will continue to have supervised visits with Sean and Jayden, will have to comply with random weekly drug and alcohol tests, and ensure the boys are in child seats when she drives.
