(Newser) – Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were in court today for a custody hearing, as the colorful pop star apparently sought changes in her visitation schedule—which is currently set at three visits per week to her two children. People described both exes as “somber.” A custody trial looms in August if the two can’t settle their differences out of court.
