Britney Spears hands over children after dispute at her home
Sands spoke briefly, saying Kaplan: "feels at this time it would be inappropriate for him to speak to the media ... because of the serious nature of what we have all read about."
The attorneys are expected to return to court at 1:30 p.m. today. No legal papers requesting custody changes had been filed as of Friday morning, said Meredith Pierce, deputy public information officer for Los Angeles Superior Court.
Authorities were called to Spears' home in the 12000 block of Summit Circle about 8 p.m. Thursday after Federline's bodyguards went to her house to pick up Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, who were scheduled to return to their father's custody, authorities said.
By the time officers arrived at the home, Spears had turned over her younger son to the bodyguards but had locked herself in her bedroom/bathroom suite with Sean Preston, according to an LAPD supervisor familiar with the case.
Lose the heavy load on your credit cards

"With credit readily available and with the growing popularity of automated payment options such as direct debit facilities, Australian borrowers have become more complacent and mechanical about debt," she says. "As a result, debt levels have tended to become less visible." Change this by gathering your statements and writing down what you owe and what rate of interest you're paying. Don't panic IF the figures horrify you, don't just bury your head in the sand and hope it will all go away.
Store's crazy credit game
Anyone can get a phone number and do this to someone else, because when they access your account they ask you for your phone number and anyone in the store can hear your number, write it down and use it later without even having to show an ID. Tina Stearns, Portage, Ind. Dear Tina: The Fixer agrees -- this is crazy. We wanted to find that guy who took your kids' store credit and re-enact Mortal Kombat right there in the Game Crazy lobby. Actually, we found it a lot easier to call Meaghan Repko, spokeswoman for Movie Gallery Inc., the parent company of Game Crazy. She got on this in short order. The next day, you got a call from a district manager for Game Crazy who was very apologetic. He offered you one of two options: they could issue you a $53 check, or offer a store credit for twice the amount in question, or $106.

Soon, outlandishly sized parachute bucktails or heavy umbrella rigs loaded with soft-bodied white or chartreuse Sassy Shad bodies were released over the squeaky-clean boat's transom, port and starboard sides.
Sadler let out several hundred feet of line from each outfit, double-checked the drag mechanisms on the reels, then stuck the rods into their holders. The trolling began, but Sadler didn't join the merry-go-round. He stayed away from the other boats, kept the radio chatter to a minimum, and right around the time we munched on the first sandwich of the day Sadler shouted, "Fish on!"
