Since the news broke Monday that Britney Spears lost custody of her kids, the rumor mill has been abuzz about why it happened.
Spears’ lawyer, Sorrell Trope, added fuel to the fire Tuesday when he told People magazine that she lost custody because she failed to produce a California driver’s license and allegedly missed a drug and alcohol test.
“We weren’t able to prove compliance with what the judge ordered,” Trope told the mag.
“Specifically,” he said, “the judge ordered that by 10 a.m. (Monday) morning, both parties show valid California driving licenses. I’ve been unable to produce evidence of that.”
Trope said another factor was a claim by ex-husband Kevin Federline’s attorney that Spears had skipped a test. “There’s no evidence that she actually failed,” the lawyer said.
