Britney Spears' future discussed in chambers


Britney Spears' dad has had a secret meeting in court to discuss the singer's conservatorship.

Jamie Spears had a meeting with Los Angeles County Superior Court judge Reva Goetz in chambers on June 3.

And among the matters under discussion was the custody of his daughter Britney's two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

According to a report on RadarOnline.com, the top-secret meeting also included Jamie's lawyer Geraldine Wyle, Britney's court-appointed lawyer Sam Ingham, and Andrew Wallet, who along with Jamie is co-conservator over Britney.

Under discussion were the findings of a court-appointed custody evaluator appointed by Goetz.

The evaluator filed a lengthy 730 report, otherwise known as a child custody evaluation.

Goetz brought in a child custody expert because of Britney's mental health issues, sources told RadarOnline.com.

In California, an evaluation usually happens when there are concerns or unresolved issues surrounding a parent's mental health problems and parental skills that could have a negative impact on a child.

Although Britney and Kevin share time with their children approximately 50/50, Kevin still has sole custody of them.

That will not change while Britney remains under the umbrella of a conservatorship but Kevin is not opposed to shared custody once that happens.

In a legal document obtained by RadarOnline, it was revealed Goetz reviewed and discussed the report with the child custody expert, Britney's dad, and all the lawyers in a chambers meeting that lasted a little over 70 minutes.

Goetz ordered the expert to prepare a report quarterly for the conservatorship, with the first report due no later than September 30, 2010.

The next scheduled status hearing for Britney is July 27, 2010.
