Britney Spears' custody case is on its way back to court after the singer handed over her two children to her ex husband, Kevin Federline.Los Angeles Superior Court commissioner Scott Gordon will hold the latest hearing today - Wednesday.On Monday, he ordered Ms Spears to give custody of her two sons to Mr Federline "until further order of the court".The couple previously shared custody, and no reason was given for the change.However, a lawyer for Ms Spears, Sorrell Trope, told a US magazine that the judge had acted after the singer was unable to prove she had complied with several court orders.Last month, Mr Gordon said Ms Spears, 25, showed "a habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol".He ordered her to undergo random drug and alcohol tests twice a week and meet weekly with a "parenting coach", according to court documents. He also ordered Ms Spears and Mr Federline to complete a parenting class.Possibley affecting the decision was her being charged with hit-and-run and driving without a valid licence.The singer is accused of hitting a parked car and driving away from a Los Angeles car park on 6 August, a spokesman for the city's attorney's office said, a charge that could lead to Ms Spears being handed up to six months in jail and a $1,000 (£495) fine if convicted of the charges.The singer has suffered a year of trouble following her separation from Mr Federline last November, during which she was dropped by her management firm following her so-called comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, which was panned by critics.Her divorce was finalised on 30 July and since then, the estranged couple have shared an equal amount of time with the two boys.However, Mr Federline has been demanding greater time and more money.
