TMZ has learned Britney Spears has lost physical custody of her kids. L.A. County Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon issued an order today, stating that Kevin Federline, the boys' father, "is to retain physical custody of the minor children on Wednesday, October 3, 2007 at 12:00 PM until further order of the court."
Judge Gordon had ordered Spears to undergo random drug testing and take parenting classes. Sources say Federline's powerhouse lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan (left), raised the issue that Spears was driving without a valid California driver's license, something first reported by TMZ.
X17 is reporting that Spears took the kids to the drive-thru at Carl's Jr. at 12:02 this afternoon and surrendered the kids to K-Fed's bodyguard three minutes later.
A source connected with the case says Spears was not focusing on the judge's order last month, and she may not have attended the parenting classes or performed the required drug and alcohol testing.
1712. My heart goes out to any mother or (father for that matter) who loses their children. I know it has to be hard on her. I pray that she cooperates with the courts and do the necessary to get her chilren back. Brittney my advice to you would be to stay strong and be of good courage, put God first cause only he can work this out for you. Keep your head up girl, and keep the faith a brighter day will come.

1713. People are so hateful towards Britney. But they don't seem to understand she has never had a real child hood. She is raising her kids to the best of her abilities. How many parents are out abusing their kids as I am writing this. Britney has not done anything to put her children in harms way. Is it her fault she made a career then decide to have kids NO. She should be able to go out with her kids without paparazzi following her and putting her in situations where she seems she is doing something wrong. Now I do not condone her allegedly doing drugs but if they don’t have visual evidence of her doing it in front of her kids it should not be admissible. They should not be able to go on the word of her former bodyguard who could be waiting to get paid off by Kevin after the trial is over. Kevin only wants custody for money. He doesn't have any income at all to take care of four children but yet he wants the world to believe he is the best parent. How good of a parent was he when he had his first two children around the same situations that Britney is going through NOW. Kevin is a hypocrite and so is the rest of the world. If Britney decides she wants to have a drink that is her choice. Parents drink while in the company of their children frequently. If the drinking has become dangerous then that is the time to do something but Britney has not showed this situation yet. A lot of parents take their kids out at night time. I guess they can't use that as evidence since they don't paparazzi following them. The judge has no significant proof of any of the allegations.
HAVE YOU REALIZED THAT YOU ARE ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN AND DO NOT FOR SURE KNOW THAT BRITNEY IS A BAD MOTHER. ALL THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE WATCHED ON TV IS FACTUAL AND IS WHAT THE REPORTERS WANT YOU TO BELIEVE. HAVE YOU SEEN HER PUT HER KIDS AND HARM WAYS. AND YOU CAN NOT USE GOING OUT WITH THE PAPARAZZI AS EVIDENCE WHEN OTHER STAR ARE PICTURED WITH THEIR CHILDREN BY PAPARAZZI
1715. You know, I have always felt sorry for Brit and I'm not even a fan of her music. I think she was thrust into the spotlight at a young age thanks to her mom and left to fend for herself and she didn't know how. She has never really had any true friends who wuld stand by her and who really gave a crap about her. They were all about the STAR Britney, not being a realy friend to her. Who would want to piss her off by being honest ya know? Then they lose the gravy train of hanging on her coat tails @@
I was always one rooting for her to ditch K-Fed because frankly he was a loser and one of the gravy train riders (IMO). But to be honest, who is the one who got his act together since the divorce? It's not Brit. And unfortunately (I hate to defend him) he is working, he's been doing acting jobs so it's not like he's just sitting on his butt collecting alimony. It seems he has quit the clubbing and done what the judge told him to do unlike Brit. Now WHY he is doing this when he was never a good parent to his other kids I don't get, but he has.
But right now, these kids need stability and unfortunately they aren't getting it from Brit. I do pray this is the real wake up call she needs to get her *hit together. What ever happened to all her excitement about having babies and being a mom? where did that go? I know divorce sucks but that doesnt mean you go out and party every night. You suck it up and are there for your babies! She should have done everything in her power to keep those precious kids, not basically laughed in the judges face (which is exactly what she did by ignoring everything he told her to do and especially doing so publicly knwoing she was going to be filmed) and done what ever the heck she wanted.
I really pitty her. I hope she gets her act together fast. This is such as sad situation. Especially for those boys.
1716. DO YOU PPL REALLY THINK FEDERLINE WANTS THESE KIDS WELL HE ONLY WANTS THEM FOR THE MONEY I HATE THIS SICK LEEACH HE HAS RUINED BTITNEY LIFE ALL U PPL ARE SICK IN THE HEAD IF U THINK FEDERLINE IS SOBER HE IS A DRUG ADDICT TOO IF U ARE GOING TO TRASH BRIT LETS ATLEAST BE FAIR ABOUT IT THOSE KIDS ARE NOT ANY BETTER OFF WITH FEDERLINE WAIT ANS SEE HE IS A GOLDDIGGER

1717. ur right basketcaze30 he is not a fit parent at ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1718. As a veteran of an contentious divorce and custody case (in Mass.) one learns a few things re: a custody proceeding, to wit ;
1)show up for scheduled proceedings 2)show up on time 3)show up with hat in hand, meaning show the court respect and humility 4)Follow the judge's orders to the letter
I learned quickly one truism which I suspect applies to any court in the US- Judges do not like it when their orders are not heeded. Britney will learn all this and more....someday!
1720. GET IT TOGETHER BRIT, NOW OR NEVER!! Is anyone surprized ? With the media " in her face 24 7" ,and everyone having an opinion on how she is "behaving", along with K-Fed wanting her money in the form of "child support"....It was bound to happen. That begin said, AND because she hasn't got the God given common sense to kept out of the "lime light" and focus on her two beautiful gifts from God......... she does need a wake up call. That WAKE UP is here: PLEASE learn Brittney ABOVE ALL THAT YOU DO, YOUR CHILDREN MUST COME FIRST IN HEALTH,SICKNESS & SERCURITY!!!!!!BECAUSE YOU HELPED BRING THOOSE CHILDREN INTO THIS CRAZY WORLD YOU CALL YOUR LIFE. GET IT TOGETHER BRIT NOW OR NEVER..........Once the kids are in K-Feds home and stay there for a time chances are thats where they'll stay. For stability reasons.! theat's what the Judges like to call it.
We all know that K-Fed is only after how much money he can get from Britney, whether in the form of spousal support or child support. However, let's not overlook, Britney has some real life altering issues going on. As a mother my heart bleeds for her...but also as a mother, I'm wondering if this is what is will take to pull her life together.
Britney, I and the collective we (who love and feel for you) encourage you to take this time, stay out of the spotlight and away from PAPS, and PULL YOUR LIFE TOGETHER! Put together your hopes, ambitions, and dreams not only for you but your as well.
We are behind you Britney and will support you every step of the way toward personal, physical, and emotional recovery.
1722. some of you weeping idiots saying that Brit did not get to be a kid...HELLO...Brit was doing exactly what SHE wanted to do...and has done exaclty what she wanted to do every day since. Yeah, alot of young girls get married too soon( sure there were ALOT of people that tried to stop them...but wasn't she preggers?)
Brit knows how to use birth control, and if she doesn't she is an idiot...She did EXACTLY what she wants....these are her mistakes....The mistakes I see were while Brit was 16-19 pimping her out in trampy clothes to become to next phenon....If Brit had wanted to takes LONG breakes she could have done it...she ran the entire show. She did not have to have a baby nor get married....these were HER choices.....Brit could also spend the majority of her time in remote places of the world to get away from the Paps...but what I saw in LA , is that Brit or her freinds call and say exactly where they are going....or stay HOME for 2,3 or 4 weeks and read, rest, have some dinner parties, hang out with real freinds...not users and losers....AND dump ALI, she is not looking out for you, if she was she would tell you the truth about how stupid you are acting and the devastating car rides are for the kids. Brit has a restraining order against her MOM, so again in full control of this death trainwreck coming very soon.....until she gets out of LA go to a place to regroup and find who you are you really. I fully expect to see her dead in the next 6 months from an accident or drugs....when the reality of this all truly sinks in. Make amends with your MOM, she can help you.....otherwise all the fame and beauty means nothing when you are a washed out at 26. Where is Madonna? has she called out to you to get you back see what you have done to your life?

1723. how in the world did Brit ever be allowed to fly commercial without a Drivers Licsene? sure she has a passport....but she is so dumb doubt she could remember to bring that. so for the past years Brit has not been giving an ID to the airlines and TSA??? WOW....stars really do get away with crimes and break laws that the rest of us could never do.
1724. I feel so sad and sorry for her for loosing her children, Its sad to see this had to come to it, there is something definitely wrong with her to be going out partying after knowing what it has cost her, but she is a sad broken soul and she needs help she is a addict, and needs to overcome her addiction, I do think that she has been lost for quite some time now, If u go back to her even breaking up with Justin and then getting married for a few hours to getting involved with a taken man who is expecting a child with another woman, then to not wanting a prenup to getting married again all in the same year, then to having two children so soon she is a lonely person no matter how many people she has in her life, she is lonely she is constantly trying to find someone to love her for her and not for her money which is sad cuz she had that and screwed up, its just so sad to see what happened to her she was once a inspiration to all and now is a disappointment to many, I hope she will get the help that she needs and is on the road to recovery, maybe one day I again she will be that great pop princess we all loved her for and then again maybe she wouldn't, but whatever does come out i hope she will receive the care she needs and gets her children back, I will hope and pray for that lost soul of hers, I really dont wanna see her become the next Anna Nicole.
1725. Well In all fairness to Chris comment 1711, I do believe that Britney and Only Britney ruined her life, she knew what was going to come out of this and continued down that path, Its sad she is lost and confused and broken but she still has mind of her own and she could have change her ways I do believe when your addict, You act in desperate ways, But still she knew and maybe this is what she needs to the road to recovery, dont get me wrong I am terribly sad en for her but then again maybe the children will be safe and she will get help she needs, and I do like her as a person I dont think she is a horrible for loosing her children, I dont even for the actions she has done, but just making a point if she goes to recovery and gets the help she needs, she is going need to realize it was by her actions and only hers that she lost her children, Nobody else's
