Britney Spears has been ordered to pay Kevin Federline’s legal bills in their ongoing child custody case


Spears is ordered to pay up -- Britney Spears has been ordered to pay $375,000 of Kevin Federline’s legal bills in their ongoing child custody case. The payment to Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, is for four months work on the couple's ongoing custody battle, but less than Spears' current payments of $500,000. The singer's lawyer, Stacy Phillips, argued in court last week that Kaplan had been over-charging Spears and requested contributions from Federline. According to Kaplan, his fees are 'far under market for the package' saying that 'this is not a simple custody case.' And Los Angeles Court Commissioner Scott Gordon called it “reasonable” to make Spears pay so much because “the actions of [Spears] caused the great majority of litigation.”
