Britney Spears fears kidnappers could snatch her children away and asked a judge to seal details of the custody-sharing deal she has hammered out with ex-hubby Kevin Federline.

At a court hearing on Monday the singer's lawyer Laura Wasser argued that releasing full details of the custody arrangement could jeopardise the children's safety.

Wasser told the judge: "Such information greatly increases the chances that the actions of the media could threaten the safety of the minor children by, for example, causing a traffic accident or by exposing the minor children to criminals who might target the minor children for financial gain."

The judge agreed to comply with Wasser's request temporarily, pending a full hearing next month.
