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.

17. Maybe it would stop her from calling all these damn court dates and not showing up or not showing up for depos. Extra costs for those press conferences because she wants to be in the spotlight. This is wasted stupid billable hours that should be on her dime.

Posted at 8:18PM on Jan 29th 2008 by the whole matter could have been settled by now if she was not crazy

21. Of course she should pay, happens all the time.

23. The judge should say enough already! Kevin needs a damn job so that he can support himself and his other two children. He should have went out and got a lawyer that he could afford with his broke a**. Oh I'm sorry he's not broke...he lives off of the child support Brittany has to pay him.

24. She should have to pay the COURT for the missed depos, but not for Kevin's lawyer. Kevin needs to start paying his OWN way. I agree that the kids are best with him right now over her, but he's showing his true money sucking colors by doing this. Maybe the kids would be better off in foster care until she gets her stuff together. Love you, Brit!!!! :)

26. I think she should have to pay the fees--it is her disgusting behavior that has forced this entire situation.

27. Why does a successful musician like Kevin need help paying lawyer fees?

Posted at 8:25PM on Jan 29th 2008 by Tim

28. Yeah 22, The entire quote was He tells Interview magazine, "I never will regret anything that's ever happened in my life. I look at life as a lesson. I am a very strong believer that this is a stepping-stone for something else. Not to say I like having the paparazzi around or that I like having my life in the media. But as much as I try to be mad at it, I can't be.

Somehow that is not using Brit as a stepping stone.

Duh.

29. Either way its Britney's money.

30. What CRAP!

K dork is only after the cash, pretending to be a great father.

Wasn't he the one who abandoned his pregnant baby mama and another kid to fool around with Brit?

What a FREAKING LOSER!

I'm in Brit's corner all the way.

Don't pay a dime.

She has the cash to stall the vulture payments for a LOOOONG time while K-Fed goes broke.

I'd love to see him in a box in the TMZ.

Now that would be a great live picture for lunch!
