Britney Spears got lucky sort of. It was announced that Kevin Federline and Britney will continue the previously ordered joint custody agreement, so Britney has not yet lost custody of Sean and Jayden. The court ordered:

“Based on the evidence presented, the court finds that there is a habitual, frequent, and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol by [Spears],” the judge wrote in his nine-page ruling…The Court declines to modify the existing custodial timeshare.

Orders apply to both Kevin and Britney:

- Neither Brit nor K-fed can take Sean and Jayden out of state without the written consent of the other. In addition to the broader mandates, the papers also stipulate that Spears and Federline must notify each other whenever they travel out-of-state with their young children and must also provide "all travel arraignments, including flight numbers for the children.

- The exes cannot make derogatory statements about each other.

- Both parents must complete the “Parenting Without Conflict” program within five days of the September 17 ruling.

- Each party is restrained from using corporal punishment with the children or allowing anyone else to.

- They are required to engage in joint co-parenting counseling within five days of the September 17 ruling.

- Neither party may consume alcohol or non-prescription controlled substances 12 hours prior to taking custody of the children.

Order applying only to Britney:

- Attend individual counseling at least once a week to address parenting issues.

- Meet with a parenting coach for a minimum of 8 hours a week, in at least two sessions a week. The coach is to observe her parenting skills and her interaction with her sons and provide Federline with a written progress report by October 22.

- Judge Scott M. Gordon has ordered Spears to undergo drug and alcohol testing twice a week "on random dates and times.

Recognizing the seriousness of the judge’s ruling Britney went out partying. Britney stopped by Winston’s and Hyde last night. Click here to see the video. She was all smiles until the paparazzi started arguing outside her car, then that smile turned into a frown. The only surprise in the ruling was the fact the judge didn’t order 24 hour daycare for Britney.
