If these video tapes and recordings were from 2005-2006 and I'm supposing before they separarated, then I can see Britney's lawyer saying something like, "Knowing that she was violent and neglectful of her parental duties, you still initially agreed to 50/50 joint custody. How do you explain that, Mr. Federline???" I would think that K-Fed's lawyer would focus on her recent behavior and specific instances where the children's welfare was neglected.
