California Family Court Shocker: Famous Birth Mom Loses Custody of Kids

California's family court system has a reputation for ignoring the rights of biological fathers (even when the biological mothers suffer from documented substance abuse and/or mental illness problems that endanger the children). Shockingly, today California resident and pop star Britney Spears lost custody of her two young children to her ex-husband after demonstrating a longstanding pattern of irresponsible behavior and substance abuse. Could this mean the tides are finally turning and California's family courts are finally starting to assess biological parents using equitably-applied standards? Let's hope so, for the sake of the children as well as their fathers and stepmothers.
