Britney Spears Due Back In Court Today
There’s a progress report hearing today in Britney’s continued legal case:
Though Spears has spent the last several months keeping a relatively low profile – and staying out of trouble – experts say it’s unlikely the pair’s current custody arrangement will change.
“As long as Britney remains under a conservatorship, she has a long way to go before the court views her as a capable mother,” says L.A. family lawyer Scott Weston, who is not involved in the case.
Word is that she might actually show up in person today, which would go a long way in impressing the judge, I would think, especially since her previous record of showing up and staying has been spotty at best. I know it’s stressful, but sometimes the hardest things for us to do are the best things for us to do.
Brit’s dad Jamie is still in charge of her conservatorship until July 31, unless the court decides to change that at some point beforehand.
I must say that I’ve been hugely impressed by the way things are turning out. Six months ago, I would have never imagined that we would be here, with nary a panty flash or Osmarmy Bin Loopy in sight. While Brit may not have been happy with this at the beginning, I certainly hope she now sees that her father coming in and taking charge has been one of the best things that could have happened. He has shown that he isn’t about the Benjamins, but rather about helping his daughter, and that is the best thing he could have done.
And I do hope that if the court does not decide to give her more visitation today, that she doesn’t get discouraged. One of the things we all must learn is that when we make mistakes, we must pay for those mistakes, even if we are really sorry for those mistakes. There must always be a period of punishment. But the good news is it doesn’t last forever, and there will come a time when Brit will get full visitation back and possibly even custody, provided she can stay on this positive track. Don’t give up, Brit, because the best things come to those who wait.

Hopefully a SUPERVISED overnight.
I’m all for her getting better and wish her well. But slow and steady, with all the necessary eyes on her, has to be part of it, I think.
