Lynne reacts to husband’s ‘substantially improper’ attorney fee in Britney’s conservatory case
Lynne Spears has objected to Jamie Spears’ attorney fees in the conservatorship case for their daughter, popstar Britney Spears. In a court document filed on Monday and obtained by People.com, the popstar’s mother Lynne, 65, objected to the four months’ fee of $890,000 from Jamie’s law firm, stating that several of the fees requested by Jamie’s attorneys were “procedurally and substantively improper”.
The document stated, “The Conservatee’s life has been under a media microscope, and the last thing she wishes, desires, or derives any benefit from is her Conservator’s attorney spending (her) money to promote herself in the same media that scrutinizes everything that happens to (Britney).”
Lynne claimed that the services provided “were not in performed in good faith for the benefit” of Britney, 39. She also requested the court to review the attorney costs and that a portion of them, at least $224,000 related to the law firm’s communication with the press, be immediately repaid to Spears’ estate.
