The troubled singer and mother-of-two arrived in court on Wednesday for an emergency hearing which she requested, only to bail again before it even started.

Despite the fact that she showed up in time for the hearing, aimed to regain her the visitation rights with her two children, two-year-old Sean Preston and 16-month-old Jayden James, in the ongoing custody case with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, Britney left the court room shortly after getting there, People reported.

K-Fed was also present in court, although none of them were required to attend the hearing, which was held after Britney’s departure with Federline in attendance.

Commissioner Scott Gordon called the Spears case at about 9:15 a.m., and allowed the singer’s attorney Anne Kiley to go out and try to find her, but Kiley appeared about 20 minutes later without Britney.

"Is your client present?" Gordon asked Kiley.

"No, she's not," the lawyer replied.

"Is she going to be present?" the commissioner asked.

"I don't know," Kiley said.

The 26-year-old pop star had her monitored visitation rights suspended indefinitely following her public meltdown on January 3, when she was briefly hospitalized after she refused to give the children back to K-Fed’s bodyguard once the visit was over.

Britney was supposed to appear in front of the judge on Wednesday and ask for her visitation rights to be restored. The next scheduled court date for the former wasn't until February 19.

On Monday, Britney finally had her deposition taken at Mark Vincent Kaplan’s office, the lawyer representing Federline in the case, after she failed to attend previous deposition dates. On December 12, she called in sick for a court-ordered deposition, then arrived late at Kaplan's office on its rescheduled date, Jan. 3.

According to Kaplan, Monday’s "very gut-wrenching" deposition was just the first in a string of upcoming depositions, because he said he only managed to work through "2 percent" of his questions.

"There is a lot of work to be done," he explained, adding that he was heartened by the idea of even having the meeting in the first place.

"She came for her deposition, that's great. Showing up is form over substance."
