Why Britney lost custody

Britney Spears temporarily lost custody of her boys because she was accused of not taking a random drug and alcohol test and she couldn't provide a California driver's license, her lawyer said today. "We weren't able to prove compliance with what the judge ordered," said Spears's attorney. "Specifically, the judge ordered that by 10 a.m. [Monday] morning, both parties show valid California driving licenses. I've been unable to produce evidence of that." The lawyer says another reason behind the judge's temporary custody ruling "was a claim by Mr. Federline's attorney that she had not complied with a previous order the court had made - before I came on board - about having a random drug and alcohol test." TMZ also reports that Spears failed to meet with a drug counselor, failed to enroll in parenting classes, and failed to sign the judge's order. Hours after reportedly handing her children over to Kevin Federline's bodyguards yesterday afternoon, Spears ditched her Malibu home and took up residence at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills.
