Judge: Spears Will Undergo Regular Drug Tests in Order to Keep Her Children

*My Prayers Go Out to Britney. I hope everything works out for the sake of Britney and her children*

In a closed hearing on Monday, Los Angeles judge Scott M. Gordon set a lengthy list of rules that parents Britney Spears and Kevin Federline must follow in order to retain custody of their sons,
Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1. The list, revealed today, includes the following shared requirements for the former couple:

·Neither Brit nor K-fed can take Sean and Jayden out of state without the written consent of the other.

·The exes cannot make derogatory statements about each other.

·Both parents must complete the "
Parenting Without Conflict" program.

·Each party is restrained from using corporal punishment with the children or allowing anyone else to.

·They are required to engage in joint co-parenting counseling.

·Neither party may consume alcohol or non-prescription controlled substances 12 hours prior to taking
custody of the children.

·They must ensure that any prospective childcare professionals hold valid Red Cross infant CPR training.

While the responsibilities for Federline end there, Judge Gordon tacked on an extra list of tasks for Spears. In order to maintain the current shared custody agreement, the popstar must:

·Attend individual counseling to address parenting issues at least once a week.

·Meet with a parenting coach for a minimum of 8 hours a week, in at least two sessions a week. The coach is to observe her interaction with kids and her parenting skills and then provide Federline with a written progress report by October 22.

·And, "based on the evidence presented, the Court finds that there is a habitual, frequent, and continuous use of controlled substances by Petitioner [Spears]," will have to undergo testing for controlled substances and alcohol. The testing shall be conducted twice per week on random dates and times, and the results will be forwarded to the court.
