LOS ANGELES, Calif. (September 18, 2007) – Britney Spears has been ordered to undergo random drug and alcohol testing twice a week, Access Hollywood has learned.
In court documents obtained by Access, a judge ordered the tests for the pop star, stating “Based on the Evidence presented, the Court finds that there is a habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol by the Petitioner” (Spears).
However, the court also said the results of those tests will not be made public.
Britney has also been ordered to meet with a “parenting coach” at least eight hours a week, who will observe her interaction with her two sons – Sean Preston and Jayden James.
The parenting coach will evaluate Brit’s motherly skills and will file a written progress report to the courts on October 22.
Both Britney and Kevin have also been ordered “to engage in joint in co-parenting counseling.”
In addition, the court mandated that “neither party shall consume alcohol, or other non-prescription controlled substances” while with the kids or within 12 hours immediately prior to having custody of the kids.
Contrary to earlier online reports that suggested Kevin would be granted temporary physical custody of the kids, the court declined to modify the existing agreement, which means the current 50/50 split will remain in effect for now.
Both parents have also been ordered to refrain from “using corporal punishment” in dealing with the kids.
The matter will now continue as a closed-door hearing. The next court date is set for November 26.
