Britney's custody battle getting expensive

Britney Spears has reportedly run up $407,000 in fees to lawyer Stacy D Phillips, while Laura Wasser has charged $60,000 so far in the custody fight.

Britney Spears' ongoing custody battle with former husband Kevin Federline over their two sons Jayden James and Sean Preston is costing the singer dear, it have been revealed. And K-Fed still has full custody of the children.

The couple's divorce settlement already requires Spears to pay Federline $20,000 a month, as well as his legal fees, which came in at $250,000. Since then, she has wracked up $407,000 in fees to attorney Stacy D Phillips, who worked for her for just four months and has apparently reduced the original fee by $125,000. The lawyer who took over from him in June, Laura Wasser has only charged $60,000 so far, and has managed to get Spears more access to her sons. Wasser is also expected to contest the fees charged by Phillips.
