Judge puts the squeeze on a recalcitrant Britney Spears

Following a three-hour, closed-door court session on Wednesday attended by lawyers for Spears and Federline, L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon stipulated that future noncompliance of court orders by Britney Spears would result in consequences.


Till the hearing on Monday, October 1, Britney had not complied with any of the stipulations contained in Commissioner Gordon's order of September 17.

By Wednesday, October 3, Britney had obtained a California driving license but still not submitted herself to random bi-weekly drug and alcohol tests, met with a parenting coach bi-weekly for a minimum of eight hours or taken co-parenting counseling.

Commissioner Gordon now wants Britney to complete three joint counseling sessions with ex-husband Kevin Federline and at least three individual counseling sessions by the next hearing under the custody dispute set for Oct. 26

In addition Britney, a no show on three occasions for random drug tests, has been told "a missed [drug] test, refusal to submit to a test, or failure to respond to the testing agency's call ... shall be deemed by the court as a failed test."

The message to Britney to get her act together is unambiguous even with the monitored visitation rights that she has been granted.

"…the monitor shall terminate visitation immediately if any conduct or action by [Spears] endangers the minor children," the order states.
