Britney puede visitar a sus hijos

Spears llega a una audiencia en la corte el viernes 26 de octubre de 2007, en Los Angeles.

Britney allowed to visit her children

Britney Spears has been allowed to see her children three times a week. The singer, who has been involved in a custody battle with her former husband, Kevin Federline, has also been ordered to undergo random drug and alcohol tests.

Britney Spears can spend two afternoons and one full night with her two young sons, but the visits will be monitored and she has to meet several conditions imposed by the court. As well as undergoing drug and alcohol tests, the singer has been told to child-proof her house and to ensure the children are in car seats when they are being driven.

The court ruling refers to a report written by a parenting coach. It concludes that the singer loves her sons and that they are bonded to her, but the home environment ranged from chaotic to almost sombre, with little communication at all.

Kevin Federline was given full custody of the children earlier this month.
