Britney Spears asked a judge to deny her mother Lynne Spears' request for the singer to pay over $600,000 in legal fees.
Spears' attorney Matthew Rosengart filed an objection to the petition for payment on April 5.
Lynne Spears' request for the petition on legal fees was filed in November. She claimed she had hired a team "to assist Britney to break the restrictions imposed by the conservatorship."In new court documents obtained by Fox Business, Rosengart argues that Lynne is a third party to the conservatorship and that there's no authority that says a third party can obtain funds from a conservatee's estate to pay for attorneys hired by that third party.
Britney pays for Lynne's "utilities, telephone services, insurance, property taxes, landscaping, pool work, pest control, repairs, and maintenance, totaling $1.7 million," Rosengart continues in the court documents. "The fees and costs at issue cannot be hoisted onto Britney Spears, who already has paid many millions for court-appointed counsel, counsel for the conservator of the estate, counsel for the conservator of the person, and others, all while very generously providing a beautiful home for her mother and paying for all associated expenses," Rosengart writes in his objection. Britney Spears's family: Jamie Spears, Bryan Spears, Jamie-Lynn Spears, Britney Spears and Lynne Spears.
