Britney Spears has been ordered to pay $375,000 of ex-husband Kevin Federline's legal bills.
The troubled singer - who has been fighting Kevin for custody of two-year-old Sean Preston and 18-month-old Jayden James since last year - was given the staggering legal bill by Los Angeles Court Commissioner Scott Gordon who says it is "reasonable in light of the actions of Ms. Spears causing the great majority of litigation".
Last week, Britney's lawyer Stacy Phillips complained Kevin's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, had overcharged the 26-year-old 'Toxic' star.
Phillips said Kevin should contribute to his own legal fees after leaving a $2,000 tip on a $365 restaurant bill recently.
While Kevin previously insisted he has no regular income, Phillips argued the 29-year-old rapper should pay part of his legal bills as he appears financially capable of leaving such an extortionate tip.
Meanwhile, Andrew Wallet - who, along with Britney's father Jamie, is co-conservator of her estate - was authorised to put some of Britney's cars up for sale by Commissioner Gordon yesterday.
After hearing Wallet's request, Britney's court appointed attorney, Sam Ingham replied: "I have no objection to that."
