Britney Spears News

Britney Spears might just want to be a mom, but the family court system wants to make sure that she's a reliably sober mom.

According to court documents obtained by E! News, Spears has been ordered to undergo periodic random drug testing to ensure that she gets to keep joint custody of her two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline, who has been angling to get primary physical custody thanks to his former missus' reckless ways.

(Thanks to the judge's decision to unseal various documents pertaining to their divorce and custody battle, view the filing.)

"Based on the evidence presented the Court finds that there is a habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances by [Spears]," so the beleaguered pop princess will have to submit to two tests a week, to be given on different days of the week and at different times, per the order handed down Tuesday by Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon.

In addition to Gordon's more obvious instructions, such as to make sure that both Spears and K-Fed let the other know if one is planning to leave the state with the kids, refrain from using corporal punishment to discipline year-old Jayden James and two-year-old Sean Preston and not consume any alcohol or non-prescription drugs at least 12 hours prior to caring for the kids, the former Chaotic spouses have also been ordered to attend joint coparenting counseling and complete the county's Parenting without Conflict program.

They have also been instructed to not badmouth each other in public or in front of the kids.

And while the estranged parents will be spending more time with each other than they would probably like, Spears will be logging even more time on the couch by herself, having also been ordered to attend individual counseling at least once a week to address parenting issues and meet with a parenting coach at least twice a week for a total of eight hours or more.

The coach will observe the 25-year-old singer's interactions with her kids and then provide Federline's camp with a report on those findings by Oct. 22.

If all goes according to Gordon's orders, Spears and Federline will be allowed to continue sharing custody, the arrangement that has been in place since their divorce was finalized in July.
