Celebrity Justice
K-Fed's Lawyer Wants Five for Fighting

K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, has filed a motion asking the court to make Britney pay attorney's fees. If the motion is granted, we've learned Brit will be on the hook for more than $500,000 since last July.

Here's how it breaks down: The court has already awarded Kaplan $120,000 for fees earned between July 30 and October 8, 2007. We've learned in today's motion Kaplan is asking for fees in excess of $300,000 for work performed between October 8 and January 24, 2008. On top of that, Kaplan is asking for in excess of $100,000 for fees he will accumulate between now and the end of the custody trial, set for April.

A hearing on Kaplan's request for attorney's fees is set for March 10.

196. Un-freaking believable. Back off K-fed and Kaplan. The children are safe, she is seeking medical help. Now you want her to pay for your attacks. $500,000, you have to be kidding me.

199. Makes me sick! Federline hired the lawyer, therefore Federline is responsible for his own legal fees. It figures that Federline and his shady lawyer would expect Spears to pay his legal fees. As for the child support for the 2 kids he has with Shar Jackson...Britney has been paying his child support. Mr. Federline needs to get up off his lazy ass and do what millions of other people do every day...get a job and go to work! Obviously he cannot sing, act or dance, if that's what he was doing. Of course I am too old to appreciate or enjoy the so called back up dancers of today. Truthfully, I never understood that crap anyway. I don't go to a concert to see someone with a group of back up dancers...maybe that is why I will always love classic rock bands. Just give me that old time rock and roll and skip the other crap. Grow up federline. You made 4 kids that we know of. Be a man. Get a job and stop trying to live off a bigger meal ticket than you could ever be.

200. THIS IS NOT RIGHT, SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR HIS ATTORNEYS FEES! HE SHOULD STOP LIVING OFF OF HER AND GET A JOB! PEOPLE JUST NEED TO LEAVE THE GIRL ALONE, SHE LOST HER CHILDREN AND THAT MUST OF BEEN AWFUL FOR HER. EVERYONE SHOULD LOOK AT THEMSELVES BEFORE THEY JUDGE SOMEONE ELSE!

202. Kevin should be responsible for half of those fees. He has appeared on One Tree Hill for several episodes and he get hugh amounts for showin up at clubs. Just because she makes over $700,000 dollars a month doesn't mean the judge should let them try to suck her dry. Talk about being blessed when her married Britney. He should man up and insist that he pay something himself.

206. It is a shame what Kevin, and his attorney are doing to Brittney. She is going through a very rough time, and needs help. I know what it is like to love someone with all your heart, and then they betray you, and take the most precious thing away from you, becouse someone lied. I always thought that Kevin married her for her money, and this just proves it. I dont think he is the better parent. I think he has the better lawyer, and he is just as money hungery as his client. I hope that the judge throws out the motion for Brittney to pay his legal fees. And both Kevin and his attorney will get theirs is the end. Becouse I believe in this thing called aura, and mark my word it will come back and bit them both. Also Kevin needs to think about what he is doing to Sean & Jayden mommy. One of these days those boys are gonna know what he did, and those boys will turn their backs on him. I pray that Brittney gets well and her boys back. And if Kevin,photgs,mags,and celb news would leave her alone she will get better. May God bless,protect,and heal this broken family.

207. I hope Kaplan gets every dime he petitions the courts for! While they have the pantyless wonder in the hospital they need to go ahead and give her what she needs "A LOBOTOMY"! And sew her V-JJ up while your at it so she cant have anymore chidren!
