A Los Angeles court has decided not to stop attorneys involved in the Britney Spears' child custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline, from talking to the press.
Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon has rejected miss Spears request, after Anne Kiley argued that all of the media coverage was "not only emotionally, but physically" dangerous to Britney.
Kevin Federline's attorney, Mark Kaplan, argued the absence of a gag order did not put the children in danger, and that Britney was more worried about the paparazzi that followed her.
Mr Kaplan also said that the paparazzi following her was happening before she filed for divorce in November 2006.
Britney and Mr Federline were not present at the hearing.
Miss Spears hasn't been allowed to visit with her sons Jayden, one, and Sean, two, since an incident that led one of her two visits to hospital psychiatric wards earlier this year, and a decision by another court to place her Dad James in control of her affairs.
Outside of the court, Mr Kaplan said Kevin would like the Britney to see her kids.
"Both sides desire to see a time that visitation can resume. It's just a matter of working out the details so it can happen," he said. "Kevin looks forward to his kids having their mom with them."
The gag order request was argued in open court before other items were heard behind closed doors.
Ms Kiley had said she wanted a "narrowly tailored" order that would restrict lawyers only from talking to the media.
