Britney Spears' former rehab facility subpoenaed in custody battle

Britney Spears‘ former rehabilitation facility, Promises Treatment Center, is the latest to be subpoenaed in the custody battle between Britney, 25, and her ex-husband Kevin Federline, 29.

According to a source familiar with the proceedings, Promises Treatment Center was served with a subpoena Saturday morning. This is the fourth subpoena handed out by Kevin’s legal team. Earlier in the week, Britney’s former assistant Shannon Funk, bodyguard Daimon Shippen, and pal Alli Sims were all served with legal papers.

A source close to the case said,

Kevin and his attorneys Mark Vincent Kaplan and James Simon are on a mission. They are pursuing all relevant evidence from every potential source and every available witness.

A spokesperson from Promises refused to comment, saying,

This is a confidential facility and we cannot comment.

Britney spent a month at Promises and was released on March 21. Her manager at the time said she was ‘successfully’ released.

According to Pepperdine University Law Professor Steven M. Cron, the Kevin’s camp is clearly seeing how Britney took to the Promises stint.

Strategically I don’t think they are concerned with the treatment, but how she responded to that treatment. Specifically, if she participated as she was supposed to. Did she have a positive attitude, did she complete it successfully. Or was she a screw up?

Britney and Kevin married in September 2004 and have two children together, Sean Preston, 23 months and Jayden James, 11 months. The couple’s divorce became final in July of 2007.

The gold digger is just after the money, since it runs out soon. In the end I don’t think he will be able to change the arraignment.

I hope Kevin will have full custody of the babies…

Well, one things for certain, no one can say Kevin and his lawyer aren’t serious about this trial! They are going after everyone who could possibly give them the information they need to give Kevin custody of those boys.

I saw where Britney’s lawyer has dropped her. It is a little bit hard not to feel bad for the girl. She really does need help and everyone she has/has had is being forced out of her life or is heading for the hills. It’s hard to stick around in that type of situation, no one wants to stand by and watch a person self destruct. If she doesn’t watch herself she’s going to end up with no one.

I wish Britney would get her act together. What a mess. Her two beautiful boys need a stable mother. It’s weird how Kevin is the better parent right now.
