Britney's new custody attorney, Stacy Phillips, argued that Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, is charging the singer too much (his last bill: $500,000). The court had previously ruled that Spears has to pay Kaplan "reasonable" attorney's fees. Phillips says Kaplan deserves, at most, $175,000.
But Kaplan fired back, "We raised our fees from $550 to $600. Our fees for the experience and expertise for the practice level are far under market for the package you get when you hire me." He added, "This is not a simple custody case."
TMZ.com is also reporting that Phillips plans to dispute a $600,000 tab from Spears' previous attorney of the firm Trope and Trope.
Jamie's role as his daughter's co-conservator was recently extended until July 31.
