Spears told to pay Federline's legal bills
Published Wednesday, Mar 19 2008, 06:00 GMT | By Beth Hilton
LA Court Commissioner Scott Gordon ruled that the singer's actions were responsible for "the great majority of litigation" in the couple's long-running custody battle.
Federline's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan had requested nearly $500,000 for his client during a hearing last week.
However, Spears's attorney Stacy Phillips argued that the dancer could clearly afford to contribute to his own legal fees after leaving a $2,000 tip on a recent $365 restaurant bill. He had previously claimed to have no steady income.
Spears's dad Jamie was also granted permission to sell some of his daughter's cars.
