US POP star Britney Spears has attended a deposition in her dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline over the custody of their two boys, after missing previous legal dates, according to published reports.

Spears drove to the office of Federline's attorney, Mark Kaplan, with a friend and was seen leaving more than two hours later, gossip websites People.com and TMZ.com reported.

Spears has had trouble making recent legal dates.

In December, she called in sick for a court-ordered deposition, then arrived late on its rescheduled date. That night, she was hospitalised after refusing to return the children to Federline following a visit.

Spears did not attend a hearing last week in which the court decided to keep in effect an order suspending her right to visit Jayden James, 1, and Sean Preston, 2.

She will get another chance next month to persuade the court to restore her visitation rights. - Sapa-AP
