TMZ has learned there's another hearing tomorrow in the Britney Spears custody saga.
We're told Brit's law firm, Trope and Trope, has filed an ex parte motion to get out of the case even faster than scheduled. Right now, Trope's motion to withdraw as counsel is set to be heard on March 10, but apparently Trope can't wait to get out. We're told that tomorrow, the firm will ask the Commissioner to hear its request earlier.
Trope and Trope filed the withdrawal motion one day after TMZ reported that disso queen Laura Wasser secretly visited Brit in the hospital last week, and that Jamie Spears wanted to replace Trope with Laura. That's gotta hurt! But the fact is, we're hearing the firm has been divided for a while over whether it was a good idea to keep representing Britney.
Wasser would not return calls, but we're told she doesn't want back in because the case is nothing but grief.
The hearing is set for tomorrow at 8:30 AM. Stay tuned.
UPDATE: Sources say there are two major reasons why Trope wants out, stat. First, they're pissed off that Brit likes Laura more, but even more fundamentally, it's impossible to rep anyone when you can't communicate with them, and we're told the court-appointed lawyer for Britney will not let the Trope lawyers have any contact with Britney.

Brit who
Do the right thing commissioner, tell them to send a final bill tomorrow. Would love to see her better and represented by a far more agressive lawyer. Good luck K-Fed if it happens.
Brit Sweetie-you got a break today from people bothering you. You should send Barron Hilton a thank you card.
I've read that Trope and Trope represented Howard K. Stern and if that's true I'm sure they'd represent Lutfi in a heartbeat. They'd corner the market on parasites. Given their close relationship with General Sam it's better for Britney if they are out of her life.
Git rid of Trope &Trope, quick. That nimrod that represented Howard Stern of the Anna Nicole Smith case is part of that firm. He is so transparent. Who could believe these people ? I think his name was Ron.
Who doesn't start to itch in close proximity to her? She's starting to look like Tommy Lee now too! It's called a S-H-O-W-E-R! You turn the funny thinganabobbers handle around till water comes out. Then you.....ready for this......step into the water! Shampoo and soap greatly enhances the experience!
Next topic. Underwear!
Ron Rale is the Howard Stern nimrod. Even the Idiot Judge in FL didn't believe him!
