Los Angeles: A court commissioner granted Britney Spears three monitored visits a week with her two small sons while ordering the pop star to childproof her house and work out a schedule for the visits with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, according to a ruling.

Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon also required that Spears undergo random weekly drug and alcohol tests. Spears, 25,also must continue meeting with a court-appointed parenting coach, and the youngsters must be in car seats when they are being driven, the ruling states.

Calls to lawyers representing Spears and Federline were not immediately returned. The nine-page ruling said Spears could have overnight visits with her kids -- something she had been seeking.

She will get two visits a week from noon to 7 pm and one from noon to 10 am the next morning. The order also cited some details of an October 19 report submitted by parenting coach Lisa Hacker about her observations of Spears with her children.

The report makes it clear that Hacker feels Spears "loves her children and the children are bonded" to her, the ruling states. However, Hacker was concerned that Spears did not seem to have "child-centered" interactions, according to the ruling made yesterday.

The "environment at the house ranged from chaotic to almost somber with little communication at all," Hacker reported, according to the ruling. During all three of her visits, Spears "rarely engaged with the children in either conversation or play," Hacker said in her report.
