Britney Spears and Kevin Federline had, until now, shared custody and the reason for the judge’s new decision to change this arrangement has not been revealed.
However, just two weeks ago the same judge said that Britney Spears indulged in "habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol," and he ordered that she should undergo random drug and alcohol testing twice weekly.
On Monday, Judge Gordon ruled that Kevin Federline "is to retain physical custody of the minor children on Wednesday October 3, 2007 at 12pm until further order of the court".
This court order has been made only 10 days after Britney Spears was charged with hit-and-run after she allegedly drove into a parked car. Britney Spears was also charged with driving without a valid licence, and the singer could go to jail for six months if found guilty of the charges.
