Lawyers for Britney Spears and her ex, Kevin Federline, appeared in L.A. Superior Court on Tuesday, Feb. 19, for a hearing on their ongoing custody battle over their two sons, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 17 months.

Commissioner Scott Gordon ruled that there would be no changes to the existing custody arrangement. Britney has had no visitation rights with her kids for nearly two months, however, she does have telephone contact with them.

While neither Spears or Federline were present for the hearing, Britney's father, who is her co-conservator, was on hand.

Earlier in the day, one of Britney's lawyers, Anne Kiley from Trope and Trope, requested a gag order on the case to prevent the media from crowding outside the court. The motion was denied by Commissioner Scott Gordon.

According to TMZ, Britney will also be switching lawyers. Trope and Trope law firm is out. Stacy Phillips is now on the case.
