Britney Spears and Kevin Federline arrived at the L.A. County Courthouse for a hearing in their ongoing custody battle.

Less than an hour later, Spears left the courthouse, the Court's public information officer confirmed.

Spears apparently never went into the courtroom itself. Federline left shortly after Spears did.

Spears is seeking to regain monitored visitation rights with her two young sons. Spears adviser Sam Lutfi drove the singer in a black Lincoln Navigator from the Beverly Wilshire hotel. Spears' paparazzo beau Adnan Ghalib left the hotel separately.

Spears was wearing a black silky cocktail dress, gold platform shoes and red lipstick.

Federline had on a light gray suit and his hair was in a mohawk. He was seen going over paperwork with his attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan.

"She is in the building and will be brought in when the case is called,” the Court's public information officer said when she arrived. “All lawyers for both parties are inside."

On Monday, Spears spent over two hours at Kaplan's office for a deposition. She left looking upset.

Federline has had sole physical custody of sons Sean Preston and Jayden James since the singer's hospital trip earlier this month.

Last night, Spears and Ghalib were involved in a minor car accident. Spears' response was to curse in a southern drawl.

Last week, Spears arrived at the L.A. Superior Court for a scheduled hearing only to leave the premises without entering the building.

"Move back, I'm scared!" she was overheard crying before she left. "Stop it! Let me get back in the car!"
