Kevin Federline arrives flanked by bodyguards

Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline appeared at a hearing about the custody of their two sons at a Los Angeles family law court today (October 3).

Federline arrived surrounded by bodyguards, and wore a blue suit and a patch over his eye. He was seen conferring with his lawyers before the hearing got underway, reports the Associated Press.

Spears, who temporarily lost custody of her sons to Federline earlier in the week, is petitioning to have custody returned to her. The pop star was reportedly not present when her ex-husband was sworn in.

The hearing took place behind closed doors. Lawyers for both sides were present.
