The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:In a move that surprised many onlookers Monday morning, Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline actually shook the hand of his former father-in-law Jamie Spears, as the two met and chatted casually before the latest in a seemingly neverending string of hearings regarding the custody of K-Fed and Britney's two boys, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
While Kevin and Jamie have never been the best of buddies, insiders say that the recent decision to allow Brit to see the boys several times a week has eased a little of the tension caused by the nasty divorce and bitter custody war.However, inside today's custody hearing, the mood is a little less than friendly, as Jamie and Brit's newest legal eagle, divorce diva Stacy Phillips, are disputing the sky-high legal bills being presented by both Kevin's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, and Britney's former lawyers at the firm of Trope & Trope.
Under court order, Britney is to foot the majority of Kevin's legal bills in the case, which to date total around $500,000. And the folks at Trope are claiming invoices in the area of $600,000. Case insiders tell OK! that Kaplan is likely to argue that his expenses are so exorbitant because of the number of unscheduled hearings called by Trope & Trope. According to the source, it was Trope who called seven of the nine hearings.
And this afternoon, Jamie is back in court for more in that other bit of Britney business — the conservatorship. Stay tuned for details.
