October 1, 2007 - Embattled pop star Britney Spears has been ordered by the Los Angeles court to relinquish custody of her two sons to former husband Kevin "K-Fed" Federline, according to CNN. Federline, a hip-hop musician, will assume custody of the boys, Sean Preston and Jayden, at 12:00 noon Wednesday.
The court transcripts have been sealed, leading to speculation over the reasons behind the custody decision. Prior to the ruling, Spears had been ordered by a judge to submit to regular drug tests and undergo "parental coaching."
Federline will retain custody of the children "until further ruling of the court."
This is the latest in a string of public incidents involving Spears, including a critically-maligned performance at this year's MTV Video Music Awards.
