Britney Spears’ custody battle could cost her over $700,000.
Britney Spears’ custody battle could cost her over $700,000.
The troubled singer’s lengthy court process with ex-husband Kevin Federline
to establish access rights to their sons, Sean Preston, two, and
23-month-old Jayden James, led to two law firms billing her a combined total
of $466,000, court documents have revealed.
In addition, Britney, 26, also agreed to pay Kevin’s legal fees, which
amounted to around $250,000.
The largest bill comes from attorney Stacy D. Phillips, who claimed in court
filings that she is owed nearly $407,000 for four months of work and says
she has written off an additional $125,000 in fees.
The remainder of Britney’s bill is for $60,000 for two months work from
Laura Wasser who took over the case in June. She brokered the agreement
between Britney and Kevin that saw him retain full custody while the singer
has visitation rights.
Phillips claims the case was more complicated because Britney’s father
Jamie, as co-conservator of her estate, has control over Britney’s affairs.
