Police Called to Britney Kids Row

Jan 04, 04:33 PM

Los Angeles cops were called to a "family custodial dispute that we are trying to resolve ...peacefully by court order," said Officer Jason Lee.

Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline are fighting over custody of their young sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.

Federline has temporary custody of the children because Spears, who has limited visiting rights, has defied court orders.

The two were married in 2004 and divorced in July.

A photographer outside the gates of the residence saw six police cars, an ambulance and a fire engine enter around 10.30pm.

Earlier yesterday, the 26-year-old singer appeared for a deposition in the custody dispute.

She was interviewed under oath for just 14 minutes, her attorney told reporters.

Spears called in sick for a December 12 court-ordered deposition, but was photographed that day driving with a friend. She also failed to show up for a session on Wednesday.

Spears' attorneys filed a court motion asking to be relieved due to a "breakdown" in communication with their client.
