Britney Spears attempts to get ‘therapeutic visitation’ rights
Posted on January 22nd, 2008 by Hot Momma
Britney Spears’ lawyers will apparently go to court tomorrow (Wednesday) and ask Commissioner Scott Gordon (not the one from Gotham City) to allow Brit “monitored visitation in a therapeutic setting.”
Brit’s family and professionals in her life have been planning a “creative way” to get Britney mental help for what has been long speculated as a bipolar disorder. The family and professionals may have come up with a clever way of getting her evaluated and hopefully treated. But it’s likely to get denied.
According to TMZ, Commissioner Scott Gordon has repeatedly ordered Britney Spears to undergo a psychological evaluation multiple times but Britney has refused to comply. Evaluating bipolar disorder is a long process. If it’s done pursuant to a 730 evaluation, the results are submitted to the court. If the Commish were to accept an alternative form of treatment, a doctor-patient privilege could prevent certain information from making its way to the court (unless the privilege is waived).
K-Fed’s lawyers (and probably the court) will not want Brit to bypass the 730 evaluation process. That could make it unlikely for Brit’s lawyers to win a bid to regain visitation in a therapeutic setting. It’s sad that Britney is not in the lives of her children but if the court holds firm it may force her to get the psychological evaluation she really needs.
