Pop princess Britney Spears has been officially ordered to hand over her two sons to her ex-husband Kevin Federline, BBC reported Tuesday.

Los Angeles court ruled that Federline be given custody of the two-year-old Sean Preston and Jayden James, who is at the age of one, until further notice.

The father "is to retain physical custody of the minor children on Wednesday October 3, 2007 at 12pm until further order of the court", the official court documents said.

The judge's decision came ten days after the singer was charged with leaving the scene of a road accident after allegedly driving into a parked car. Besides she had no valid licence at the time of the crash.

If found guilty, Britney faces up to six months behind bars.

The star has also been recently ordered to undergo random drug and alcohol tests twice a week and to complete a parenting class as part of her child custody dispute with Mr Federline.

The divorce of the couple was finalised on 30 July and since then the two ex-partners have shared an equal amount of time with the two boys.

However, Mr Federline has been fighting for greater time and more money.
