Britney Spears has a court hearing regarding her visitation rights scheduled for today, May 6th. The court will be determining whether or not Britney is fit to have extended visitation with her two sons.

Britney has had a court ordered psychiatric evaluation and has had a court appointed monitor accompanying her on all her visits with her sons. She is hoping that the court will see that she is no longer out of control and will increase her visitation rights and allow her sons to stay overnight with her. I think that the courts decision will be mainly based on the psychiatric evaluation and not so much on the monitor observation of her parenting skill.

Britney has definitely shown progress. She has regained some self-control, is able to communicate with ex-husband Kevin Federline, and has not had any psychiatric episodes lately. She appears to be getting her life and her career back on track. However, he dad is in control of her life right now. Who knows what will happen once his power is gone and Britney is free. For her sake and the sake of her children I hope she continues to stay mentally healthy.

Just look at the pictures, she is much happier when her children are in her life.

UPDATE: Although she did not all that she was asking for, I’d say that the hearing went in Britney’s favor. Her share of custody has been increased to three days of supervised visits each week and by the end of the month she may be able to have overnight stays. Her time with her sons will slowly increase over the next couple of months. Britney’s ultimate goal is to regain the 50/50 custody agreement that she originally had.
