Britney Spears and Kevin Federline have arrived at L.A. Superior Court for a hearing concerning the custody of sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.

Spears arrived in a white Range Rover and entered the court via an underground entrance. Attorney Blair Berk accompanied the singer.

Spears, looking subdued in a knee-length brown and white dress, walked into the courtroom with her lawyer and both of her parents. Federline entered the courtroom accompanied by his lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, at about 9:30 a.m. for the start of the hearing.

Sporting a tan, Federline walked into the courtroom in a pinstripe tan suit. He was smirking when he walked down the hallway to the courtroom.

Commissioner Scott Gordon asked all parties to state their names. Spears, who was first, answered quietly “Britney.” Gordon then requested that she state her full name. The singer’s divorce attorney, Stacy Phillips, requested that the hearing be closed to the public, which was granted.

Though Spears has spent the last several months keeping a relatively low profile – and staying out of trouble – experts say it’s unlikely the pair’s current custody arrangement will change.

“As long as Britney remains under a conservatorship, she has a long way to go before the court views her as a capable mother,” says L.A. family lawyer Scott Weston, who is not involved in the case.

Britney seems to be trying to get her life back together.  She was at Jamie Lynn’s baby shower over the weekend with her family.  She is working again; she has another appearnace on the hit show, “How I Met Your Mother”.  Today, Britney showed up in court and behaved like an adult, which is the complete opposite of what she did six months ago.
