Britney Spears's dramatic turnaround from her troubled personal life and stalled career has come with a cost of $2.7 million in legal fees, the Los Angeles Times reports.
A sizeable chunk of the total was the $417,000 price of ending her 2 ½-year marriage to Kevin Federline and subsequent custody battle, according to fees charged in the first 11 months of her conservatorship.
Attorneys for the singer's father Jamie Spears filed a document Monday showing how much his court-ordered control of her business and personal affairs has cost. Fees have been split among 17 lawyers and firms, including $1 million for Spears's own attorneys. The figure, they state, represents the "complex and challenging" issues the singer has faced in getting her life back on track.
"Since the initiation of the conservatorship, as a result of the concerted efforts of Mr. Spears as well as the professionals involved, all aspects of Ms. Spears's life have been stabilized and continue to improve," lawyer Geraldine Wyle wrote. She added that the singer's mental health continued "to mend," that she had regained "substantial visitation" with her children and that her career "has been revitalized."
