Britney Ordered to Pay $500,000 In Legal Fees

Image by wenn.com

Britney's legal woes just got a whole lot worse. All those times she skipped out on scheduled depositions to go hang out with Adnan are creeping up on her and K-Fed's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan will be getting the last laugh.

Kaplan filed a motion asking that Britney Spears be held liable for $500,000 in court and legal fees.

Here's the breakdown: $100,000 of fees Kaplan will accumulate between now and the end of the custody trial, set for April (08) but he wants another $400,000 in fees dating back to July of 2007. That's a lot of cheddar yo!

In other Britney news, the pop wreck was spotted out and about last night in her new SLK 350 Mercedes Benz. Her new car must be lacking a navigation system because she got lost in the Hollywood Hills and asked a pap (in her British accent) to hop in the car and help her get home. Some things never change!

Listen- I am engaged to a man who has custody of his children. If he had not gotten custody, he would have to pay. Thats the way it is. HE MAKES MORE THAN HER. She didnt work. But, now that she decided to move away and let US keep her 3 children, SHE has to pay. That is why Britney has to pay his legal fees. It was decided she pay, probably because she makes a HEll of a lot more money than k-fed does. So, to answer the question, Britney makes more money, so she has to pay. Not only that, but she HAS dragged out the case, so she SHOULD have to pay.

Sad for her mess life. 161 articles all about Britney and counting (This is only in a month).she should stay at home in a quiet life. an learn how to be a good wife and mother.or she also can continue her searching a real man at the celebrity dating site LargeMingle com

Why can't ya'll just answer the original question in a grown up way.....why does she have to pay his fees is the Q, can anyone give the person a grown up response instead of the tedious chastising of either party....

Britney deserves everything she gets, she needs to stop feeling sorry for herself and think about the boys, but she does out drinking and taking drugs.

Bryan, well duh. You made the comment about "playing people" - you don't get that crap in the courts here in Australia. You pay your own way. K-Fud should still get off his arse and get a real job to pay his lawyer.

when she has dark hair, that is when crazy britney comes out, when she has blonde hair, that is when the real dumb britney from south comes out! sad sad sad...no one can help her if she cant help herself first

Bryan is right. Unfortunately there are a lot of women who can't wait to have a rich man's baby. Now guys are jumping into the game. Everybody just wants to get to paid.

2:52PM 01/30/08 Down To Earth

Bryan did I ever say it was fare for women to do this? "NO"

2:16PM 01/30/08 Bryan

That ain't the law Down to Earth. Whoever makes the most pays. That's why I don't understand why you ladies are raising hell about Britney. You can't have it both ways. You can't praise one of your own who manages to get half a guy's shit then whine it's unfair to Britney. It's unfair to a lot of people. She'll just have to deal like they do. Binda this is the US , Australian law does not apply. And she's dragging this out by not taking her ass to court.

He ran up a bill of $500, 00 USD? Are you serious? Most custody cases cost less than a tenth of that. Talk about dragging it out for the money. Brit's no saint but at least she has her own money. K-Fud should get a real job and pay his lawyer like everyone else would do. Bryan, in Australia, both parents pay their own legal fees.

10:20AM 01/30/08 Down To Earth

I probably should be a little clear. She should pay the fee's for the days she did not show up "only". I think Kevin needs to get a job and pay for him self.

Hooray for the Judge who is making her pay. All those times she jerked K-Fed's attorney around by not showing up for depositions and for court dates, she should have to pay K-Fed's attorney for his time. She acts very spoiled and immature and she ought to be penalized when her immaturity affects other people.

9:13AM 01/30/08 Vanessa

Down to Earth and Tasha both of you are right. Until she stops this foolishness she's going to be Kevin's personal atm machine. She needs to get a clue and soon.

8:50AM 01/30/08 Down To Earth

I guess you should show up for your appointments and you will not have to pay.

8:46AM 01/30/08 Bryan

We talked about this at work this morning. Luv the way you ladies are howling about Britney having to pay Kfed's legal bills & child support. Stop acting like this is unique. Men get screwed over like this in courtrooms everyday. Whoever makes the most pays. It's the law. Nice to see a guy turn the tables and get paid for change. Now you ladies see what it feels like to have someone play you & take your shit. Sucks doesn't it?

8:37AM 01/30/08 Tasha

Having to pay his legal fees and a large child support payment would be incentive enough for me to get my shit together.

7:21AM 01/30/08 dumas

hold up here...why does SHE have to pay for KFEDS legal fees ? This won't happen...and if it does thats sad...kfed is a broke loser and if he cant afford his lawyers than give up the kids
