Britney Spears’ attorney, Sorrell Trope, told People that Britney lost custody of her kids because she didn’t take the court-ordered drug and alcohol test and didn’t obtain a California driver’s license.

The judge presiding over the case told the dimwit she would have to do these things by Monday at 10am, or she would lose custody of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1. Homegirl apparently didn’t feel like complying, so she simply didn’t do what was asked of her. What a kick ass mom.

L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon didn’t outline his reasons in the written ruling, but Spears’s attorney, Sorrell Trope, says, “We weren’t able to prove compliance with what the judge ordered.”

“Specifically,” Trope says, “the judge ordered that by 10 a.m. (Monday) morning, both parties show valid California driving licenses. I’ve been unable to produce evidence of that.”

Trope says another reason behind the judge’s temporary custody ruling “was a claim by Mr. Federline’s attorney that she had not complied with a previous order the court had made, before I came on board (as lawyer), about having a random drug and alcohol test.”

Trope adds: “There’s no evidence that she actually failed a test.”

However, the courts see the failure to take a test as the same thing as not passing the test.

Although Britney hit up the DMV yesterday, she was not issued a license. According to TMZ, she was “checking her status,” and reportedly “wasn’t very nice to the staff.” In order to be issued the license, Britney must pass the written exam. Good luck with that.
