Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon granted Kevin Federline attorney, Vincent Kaplan, an in-chambers ex-parte hearing Thursday morning that was also attended by a representative from the office of Britney Spears' attorney, Sorrel Trope 29 September 2007.
Federline filed for enhanced custody of the couple's two sons citing safety concerns in view of Britney's erratic behavior and lifestyle. Commissioner Scott Gordon is presiding over the case, on 8 Aug 2007.
The Thursday hearing is possibly linked to a new set of charges filed on September 21st by the office of Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo. According to Access Hollywood.
Britney was charged with misdemeanor hit and run and causing property damage for a parking lot incident on August 6 in which she hit a parked car while pulling in but made no attempt to contact the owner of the car.
The charges filed also mention that at the time of the incident Britney did not have a valid California driver's license.
Spears was photographed behind the wheel of a car with her two sons Jayden and Sean Preston in the back seat, On Tuesday (September 25)
It is possible Britney has obtained a valid driving license since the 6 Aug 2007 parking lot incident. If not, she may well have dug herself deeper into a hole and that could well be what the ex-parte hearing is all about.

"She also had several massive bodyguards surrounding her all night.
"As she made her way around the party her entourage marched in front, holding back other guests who included John Mayer and Jon Bon Jovi and shouted, 'Get out of the way! Mariah's coming!' "
The 38-year-old singer showed off her new svelte figure in a tight purple gown at the party, which she revealed was down to a diet of bland soups and water aerobics.
Mariah said: "My secret is bleak diets, basically soups and fish prepared really blandly.
"I have a wonderful trainer whose name is Patricia, she lives in St. Barts, poor girl. People say to me, 'Only you would fly someone from St. Barts in the Caribbean to New York to work out.' We do water aerobics mostly.
"I don't feel like you have to be a size zero. We should all just embrace who we are physically. I'm not supposed to be a stick figure girl. It's just not me."

Naomi Campbell has accused British Vogue of snubbing her because she is black, despite gracing its cover eight times.
The supermodel joined other black style icons - including Iman, Andre Leon Talley and Tracy Reese - on the panel of the Blacks in Fashion event on Friday, where she claimed the magazine has repeatedly refused to put her on their cover.
Naomi said: "I've never been on the cover of British Vogue and I've asked a million times and they've always refused me.
"They'll put the same white model for half the year, I swear like six times, but wouldn't put me on once in my own country. But I still want my British Vogue cover!"
Despite her claims, Naomi has been on the cover of British Vogue eight times since 1987 - twice with other models, once with hip-hop mogul P. Diddy and five times on her own.
The 37-year-old catwalk queen also claims she has struggled to get ahead in the fashion industry because of her ethnic origin.
She said: "The only time they care about black models is in February because it is Black History Month.
"Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington would go to big designers and say, 'If you don't pick Naomi to be in your show, then I don't want to be in it.' That's how I got Prada and Helmut Lang.
"The only reason I got the cover of French Vogue was because Yves Saint Laurent called up and told them he'd pull his ads if they didn't. So of course I got the cover."

"I love movies and acting so when I'm ready for kids and marriage later on, I want it to be my stability and my life.".
Actress Jessica Alba has revealed to a secret vice - she is fond of downing bottles of whisky. The Hollywood beauty criticizes people who collect bottles of distilled liquor for she considers it to be a waste of alcohol.
Instead, she would rather drink it. "I drink it with friends and my father. What's the point of collecting it when you are not going to enjoy it,” Contactmusic quoted Alba, as saying.
"It is such a short life that you might as well enjoy it," she added. The actress, who won the female hottie award at the Teen Choice Awards, once asserted that she has one healthy habit of drinking a lot of water.
The 26-year-old actress is best known for her roles in Dark Angel, Sin City, Fantastic Four, Into the Blue and Idle Hands.
