Britney Spears' abuse claims dropped

Thursday, September 6, 2007

Britney Spears will not face child abuse charges.

The 'Toxic' singer's lawyer Laura Wasser, who attended a custody hearing with Britney's ex-husband Kevin Federline, confirmed the action has been dropped but wouldn't reveal details of the accusations.

Speaking outside the courthouse yesterday, Wasser said: "It does not appear the county will pursue any action at this time. I don't know who made the complaints, but I am trying to find out."

Officials at the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services did not comment on the complaints.

Both Wasser and Kevin's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan refused to reveal what was discussed in yesterday's private hearing, but said they were pleased with the outcome.

Britney and Kevin will have at least three more court hearings this year in their custody battle for their two sons, including appearances on September 14, November 26 and December 18.

The courts will review independent evaluations and consider Kevin's request for primary custody of 23-month-old Sean Preston and Jayden James, 11 months.
