There was some confusion yesterday over how much additional visitation Britney was granted with her two boys, Sean Preston, two and 1/2, and Jayden James, one and 1/2. Some reports had her being granted overnight visits after a positive court hearing, but OK! Magazine clarifies that it hasn’t happened yet. They have a source that says she’s been granted more supervised time on a trial basis to show the court that the boys are well adjusted and that they are handling the transition well. They say it’s not about how Britney behaves around them so much as how they’re coping with seeing her again:

Reports that the pop superstar will get overnight visits with her boys within the month, and that 50/50 custody with K-Fed is imminent are false, sources close to the case confirm to OK!.

“Britney will not get automatic overnights in the future,” the insider tells OK! exclusively. “Right now, the amount of time she gets for her day visits has been increased, but no overnights are planned.”

According to the source, more information is needed before the issue of overnight visits is even considered.

“The court needs to see how this first step goes for a significant amount of time,” explains the insider, adding that things won’t be able to move forward until after a review of this latest expansion. “It’s not about how well she does with the boys,” the source said, “But how well the boys do. That’s what it’s all about.”

TMZ is more optimistic about Britney’s chances of regaining overnight privileges with the boys. They claim to have the specifics that she gets “three days of supervised visitation per week,” and that they have sources that say that “within a month” she’ll have overnight visitation.

The commissioner is said to have been “extremely impressed” by how much she’s changed and is taking this issue seriously. It seems to be a move in the right direction to let her see more of her children along with easing them into it so it’s not so much of a change to be with their mother.

Britney was controlled, drugged and abused by a man who weaseled himself into her life. She lost custody of her boys when Sam Lutfi was at the height of his influence over her, and he should be held criminally responsible for the way he abused her. I know those cases are difficult if not impossible to prove, but this guy needs to go jail. Britney has mental health issues and an arguable amount of personal responsibility for what happened – she is notoriously flaky and self-centered, but this is a guy who used to stalk her. He took over her finances, home, and life, and even bragged to her mother about how he would routinely drug her food. She flipped out in large part because she was over medicated against her will along with having a predisposition to mental illness. It’s just a shame that she wasn’t able to say no to the guy, probably because her family taught her to tow the line and work her ass off for them all her life.
