Fearing a major leak, Britney Spears’ attorney has asked the judge over seeing her child custody hearings to keep the files from the case away from the child protection authorities.
The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services is a “large bureaucracy with thousands of employees” where the details of the case could easily leak out, argued Thomas Paine Dunlap, an attorney for Spears.
The department is investigating Spears’ parenting skills. Ex-husband Kevin Federline’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, argued that if the court turned files over it should identify and release only relevant issues.
After Dunlap and Kaplan spoke, an attorney for the department asked for the hearing to be closed, and Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon’s decision was not disclosed.
It makes sense. If private details were leaked to a public organization with tens of thousands of employees, you could be sure no secret would be safe.
