Britney
Spears Submits Legal Papers Questioning Kevin Federline Expenses
4/4/08
Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline lied about his income and
business expenses, according to legal documents filed by the pop star's
lawyer.
Attorney Stacy Phillips claims Federline "understated his income
by at least $200,000" and that he exaggerated having $800,000
worth of business expenses, reports website TMZ.
The legal papers, which have been submitted as part of the former
couple's ongoing custody battle, also suggest Federline earned $544,074.73
from his company Gooseneck Productions in 2007 - and his expenses totaled
$841,128.67.
Phillips also accuses Federline of claiming business expenses including
"extraordinarily high tips for food and beverage services" such
as $1,100.76 on a $2,782 bill.
The Toxic singer was recently ordered to pay Federline's legal bills,
which Phillips says are excessive and which Federline can afford to pay
himself.
Spears and Federline are currently battling over custody of their two
sons, Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one. Federline has full custody
of the kids.
