Britney Spears has stacked her legal team with divorce lawyer to the stars Laura Wasser amid her separation from Sam Asghari, a source tells Page Six exclusively.
An insider with knowledge of the situation confirmed that the pop star hired the powerhouse attorney as her split from the Iranian-born actor is likely to turn into a nasty battle inside the courtroom.
Asghari, , is allegedly seeking to change the terms of the prenuptial agreement that he and Spears, signed. According to an insider,
Family Business actor is attempting to negotiate concessions beyond his prenup and threatening to go public with extraordinarily embarrassing information about Britney unless he gets paid.
Spears hiring Wasser, 55, may not come as a surprise as the “Piece of Me” singer hired the family law attorney when she was fighting her ex-husband Kevin Federline for custody of their two sons, Sean Preston, now 17, and Jayden, now 16, back in 2008.
At the time, a judge ordered Spears to pay Federline, 45, $20,000 a month in child support payments.
Wasser previously said her superstar client was pleased with the ruling and told reporters, “Britney is doing great. She’s with her kids right now.”
The Los Angeles-based lawyer has since taken on a string of A-list clientele, including Kim Kardashian, Johnny Depp, and more recently, Kevin Costner and Joe Manganiello.
Wasser is a big advocate for everyone — not just celebrities — to get their finances in order before getting married.
