Britney Spears and a parenting coach were questioned Tuesday by the
court commissioner overseeing the singer's custody dispute, resulting
in an unspecified change in visitation status. Spears and ex-husband
Kevin Federline appeared before Commissioner Scott Gordon, who took the
one-hour proceeding behind closed doors.
Court spokesman Allan Parachini stressed afterward that the answers
given by Spears and parenting coach Lisa Hacker were not considered
testimony.
Spears' behavior was "very businesslike," Parachini said.
The 26-year-old pop princess, wearing a white short-sleeve top and
capri pants with pockets down the sides, left court without comment.
Federline, in a gray suit, also did not comment as he left.
Months of bizarre behavior by Spears culminated early this year with
two hospitalizations. Federline was given full custody of their two
little boys, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and Spears' visitation
rights were suspended.
But Spears has appeared stable recently, and her visitation rights
have been gradually restored. She remains under the conservatorship of
her father, James Spears, and her estate is under the conservatorship
of her father and an attorney.
A status conference in the custody case is set for July 15.
