In October 2007, a Los Angeles judge said Kevin Federline should be given custody of Sean Preston, two, and one-year-old Jayden James, until "further notice".
The decision came two weeks after the same judge said the pop star engaged in "habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol".
On 3 January 2008, police were called to Spears's home after she refused to relinquish custody of her children to Federline. She was subsequently hospitalised after she "appeared to be under the influence of an unknown substance," though blood tests show negative for any illicit substances. She was held for psychiatric evaluation for two days. On 31 January, a court placed Spears under temporary co-conservatorship of her father James Spears and his lawyer, giving them complete control of her assets.
A few days later a restraining order was issued against Spears' ex-manager Sam Lutfi, who was accused of being a negative influence on the singer's life by her parents.
In March that year, Spears made a successful guest appearance on the CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother". The pop star played a love-struck receptionist in a tattoo-removal clinic who falls for the main character Ted. Her performance was widely viewed as a positive first step along a possible road to recovery. Spears reprised her role in May 2008, leaving the storyline open for a future return.
