Brit Back To Court In Six Days

The following italicized article is taken from www.pagesix.com:

Sources close to Britney Spears' attorney Anne Kiley have confirmed that the embattled pop star is going back to court on February 4 to seek therapeutic visitation of her boys.

The February date had already been scheduled as Trope & Trope were going to withdraw as counsel, but they said last week they were going to stick by Brit. The motion must still be heard in open court so it can be redacted.

Brit will allegedly show to formally request the visitation with sons Sean Preston and Jayden James, where a court-appointed therapist will observe the family in action.

Though they aren't common in California, a family law specialist tells PageSix.com what Britney is in for should her request be granted. "The therapist would coach Britney, and tell her what is and isn't appropriate, and give her cues on how to handle the boys if they get fussy. The visit could take place at Brit's house, or a neutral location," the source said.

Commissioner Gordon will likely invite both sides to recommend a mutually agreed upon therapist, appointing one himself if talks are unsuccessful.

"Commissioner Gordon has to be stringent with limitations regarding the boys because of their ages, vulnerability and inability to report anything bad," the specialist tells us.

The visits were requested by Brit's attorney at last week's emergency custody hearing, but the pop mom is still limited to just phone calls with Sean and Jayden, 2 and 1 respectively.

This will be the third time that Britney has requested a hearing after losing temporary custody of her boys on January 3rd.
