Los Angeles – As Britney Spears was checking out of rehab for the second time in a week Wednesday, her estranged husband was making plans to go to court amid a custody dispute over their two children.
Kevin Federline and his lawyer were scheduled to appear at a downtown courthouse today for an emergency hearing, Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini told The Associated Press. It was not known what issue Federline planned to raise.
Federline and Spears have two sons, 5-month-old Jayden James and 17-month-old Sean Preston.
Federline filed papers seeking spousal support and sole custody of the children after Spears sought to end their two-year marriage in November. A temporary court order issued Feb. 1 granted the couple joint custody until the end of this month.
The move comes amid increasingly bizarre behavior by Spears, which culminated with her reportedly checking into and out of two rehab centers and shaving her head bald on Friday.
Spears, 25, left the Promises Malibu Treatment Center on Wednesday, according to the syndicated TV newsmagazine “The Insider,” less than a day after arriving at the facility, which specializes in treating drug and alcohol abuse.
