The lawyer representing Britney Spears in her child custody battle with her ex-husband has asked to be taken off the case. High-powered attorney Sorrell Trope filed papers today asking the court for permission to be relieved from representing Britney. He writes that the so-called "breakdown" of communication is "making further representation of her interests impossible." Sadly this is the third lawyer to quit in Britney's custody battle.“A lawyer cannot simply withdraw from a case,” he says. “We will ask the court to relieve us.” A hearing is set for Feb. 4.
That will be followed by a hearing for Spears and Kevin Federline in the custody case on Feb. 19.
Trope was Spears’s third lawyer in her ongoing battle with her ex-husband.
Her first attorney, Laura Wasser, resigned from her case in September shortly after Spears’s divorce from Federline was finalized.
Spears then hired the firm Freid & Goldsman, but their relationship ended within days.The documents also reveal that five depositions are scheduled for January. Britney already missed one, saying that she was "too sick" to attend. Kevin Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan blasted the move to "Extra," saying, "It's not like fourth grade where you get a doctor's note and it's all OK."
Among those set to be deposed is Britney's former bodyguard Anthony Baretto, who has alleged that Britney has "mental problems" and a problem with drugs.
