No ruling today in Britney Spears' custody case

The hearing in the child custody dispute case between pop star Britney Spears and ex Kevin Federline ended Friday, October 26, without a ruling. Britney's visitation rights were extended over the weekend and a ruling is expected sometime Monday or Tuesday.


Today's inconclusive hearing, which for the first time was attended by both Britney and Kevin, spanned two sessions. Also present was a lawyer for the California Department of Children and Family Services.

Britney arrived with cousin and former assistant Alli Sims wearing a dark dress, shades and her signature high boots.

Once the hearing started the media was asked to move out.

Before the start of the morning session Kevin Federline’s lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, requested that Britney's deposition be videotaped to record not just what she says but the way she says it. At her last hearing, while talking with Commissioner Gordon, Britney chose her words carefully, such that they appeared sincere on paper, but laced them with heavy sarcasm.

LA Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon turned down the request to preclude a media leak of the videotape.

It is believed the hearing focused on the adverse report by the court appointed parenting coach.
According to TMZ Britney left the courtroom as many as three times during the course of the hearing to go to the bathroom. She looked distraught and according to one observer was crying.

When an Extra reporter asked Britney how she was doing Britney shouted, "Eat it, lick it, snort it, [bleep] it!" and walked back into the courtroom crying.
