TMZ has obtained paperwork that suggests Sam has asked Britney for ‘spousal support’ and attorneys' fees. After the end of Britney's conservatorship, her legal team took steps to protect her assets.

He stated:
“(Sam) has yet to determine the full nature and extent of the separate property assets and obligations of each party. There are various items of community and quasi-community assets and debts, the full nature and extent of which are unknown to (Sam) at this time.”
Page Six has reported that Britney Spears has appointed Laura Wasser as her divorce lawyer. The latter is renowned for representing high-profile clients like Kim Kardashian, Kevin Costner, and Johnny Depp. A source close to Britney Spears told DailyMail.com that the news that Sam Asghari is threatening to publish something ‘extraordinarily embarrassing’ about his spouse if she doesn't renegotiate the terms is absolutely ‘absurd’.
