LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Troubled pop star Britney Spears has finally given testimony in her custody dispute with ex-husband K-Fed over their two boys, according to published reports.

Paparazzi swarm Britney Spears on January 14 outside a Los Angeles courthouse.

People.com and TMZ.com report Spears was seen leaving the Los Angeles-area office of Kevin Federline's lawyer about two hours after she arrived Monday.

Spears has been having trouble making recent legal dates.

On December 12, she called in sick for a court-ordered deposition, then arrived late at the lawyer's office on its rescheduled date, January 3.

That night she was taken to a hospital after a stand-off in her home when she refused to return the children to Federline's bodyguard following a visit. Video Watch more on the stand-off »

Spears' next court hearing is scheduled for February 19th, when she'll try to regain a judge's permission for visits with her two young boys.

Spears married Federline in 2004 and filed for divorce in 2006.

Throughout 2007, her behavior was erratic -- and highly public, as a train of photographers trailed her everywhere.
