The court commissioner handling Britney Spears’ custody case has repeatedly ordered the pop star to undergo a psychological evaluation, but she has refused to comply, TMZ.com reported.
Commissioner Scott Gordon has issued multiple orders — known as a 730 evaluation, TMZ said.
Meanwhile, Spears’ lawyers will go to court Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. ET and ask Gordon to allow the singer “monitored visitation” with her two sons “in a therapeutic setting,” TMZ reported.
But TMZ is hearing buzz that Spears’ ex-husband Kevin Federline (and probably the court) will not want Britney to bypass the 730 evaluation process. That could make it unlikely for Brit’s lawyers to win a bid to regain visitation in a therapeutic setting, the Web site said.
On Monday, Spears left the deposition in her custody battle nearly two-and-a-half hours after arriving at the offices of Federline’s attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan, People.com and TMZ reported.
Spears’ deposition has been an emotionally difficult experience that has only just begun, Kaplan told People magazine.
“We are going over things that are very, very gut-wrenching,” Kaplan said Monday night, speaking outside of Katsuya restaurant in Brentwood. He declined to discuss specifics of the questioning, but said, “Just to revisit them even in your own mind would not be pleasurable.”
“It’s not something anyone would enjoy,” he said.
Spears was about 50 minutes late for Monday’s deposition.
“After an hour I would have been over it. I was prepared to terminate had she not showed at that time,” he told People.
Kaplan said there will further depositions in the unspecified future, claiming that he has only worked through “2 percent” of his questions. But he added that he was heartened by the idea of even having the meeting in the first place.
“She came for her deposition, that’s great,” Kaplan said.
In an interview with TMZ, Spears’ attorneys Sorrell Trope and Tara Scott said the singer was “in good spirits” at Monday’s deposition.
Spears, 26, and Federline, 29, have been wrangling over custody of their sons, 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James.
Federline has temporary custody of the children because Spears has defied court orders. The two were married in October 2004 and divorced in July. Spears also does not have visitation rights at this time.
