Britney Spears has been dumped by her third lawyer in her never ending custody battle with Kevin Federline. The high-powered law firm representing Britney filed court papers on Wednesday asking for permission to be relieved from the case.

In the legal papers, attorney Tara Scott from Trope and Trope wrote, "There has been a breakdown in communications between [Britney] and Trope and Trope making further representation of her interests impossible."

Now, I used to watch "The Practice" pretty religiously, so I consider myself rather knowledgeable when it comes to deciphering this sort of legal mumbo jumbo. So when they say "breakdown in communications" I'm pretty sure what they really mean is, "bitch wouldn't get her ass to court when she was told." And when they refer to "her interests" I think they're alluding to paparazzi banging and petty theft. So yeah, I can see how that might be difficult for them to continue representation.
