'Chaotic'
The judgement comes after a three-hour hearing last Friday, which both Ms Spears, 25, and Mr Federline, 29, attended.
Detailed testimony was presented, from Ms Spears' parenting coach among others. The coach, Lisa Hacker, criticised Ms Spears, calling the atmosphere at her home "chaotic" and saying she rarely played with or spoke to the boys, according to court documents.
"It seems that her choices are dependent more upon what she wants to do at any given time rather than what would be more enjoyable for the children," Ms Hacker said in her assessment.
A full evaluation of the custody arrangements is not expected to be completed until mid-January, according to news agency Reuters.
