A ‘Respectful’ Britney Gets More Time with Children
Britney Spears attended a custody hearing Thursday, addressed the judge in a “soft and respectful voice,” and finally got some good news: she may now have overnight visits with her sons.
The pop star, who appeared relaxed in blue jeans and sunglasses as she entered the courtroom – telling reporters, “I’m good, thank you” – emerged 45 minutes later appearing solemn and declining to comment.
But the hearing was a rare victory. The judge expanded her visitation schedule, giving her one monitored overnight visit a week with Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, a court spokesman said. Lawyers will work on when the new schedule begins.
“Ms. Spears did speak (at the hearing),” says court spokesman Allan Parachini, “and her voice was soft and respectful.”
Spears’s attorney, Sorrell Trope, tells PEOPLE: “I consider this a very positive sign for my client. I have every expectation that she will comply with all the orders made by the court. I remain absolutely optimistic that she will eventually regain 50-50 custody.”
