Additionally, Clark Byam, another Spears family lawyer, was present.

The attorneys met behind closed doors, and commissioner Reva Goetz determined how much money Spears owed them for their legal work. Samuel Ingham will be given $10,000 per week until July 31, Andrew Wallet will receive $100,000 to cover previous legal work up until March 31, and Geraldine Wyle will receive an $175,000 advance today to cover legal fees up until March 31. Clark Byam is getting an advance of $22,500, and Stacey Phillips, the lawyer dealing with Spears' custody issues, will receive $75,000.

Additionally, Reva Goetz acknowledged a petition that was filed on March 17 by Jon Eardley, who claims to represent Spears. The document challenges Spears' legal represenation, and Goetz announced that the petition was stricken. Samuel Ingham, who was appointed by the court to represent Spears, will continue to do so.

The next court date is scheduled for May 29, 2008.
