LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: For the first time since it was made public that Britney Spears and her husband Sam Asghari were divorcing, she was pictured without her wedding band. After dating for five years, the actor, 29, and the singer, 41, got married in June 2022. It had been reported that he recently confronted her about cheating allegations.
According to TMZ, Asghari formally requested a divorce on Wednesday, August 16, citing "irreconcilable differences" and designating July 28, as the separation date. Spears was seen driving around LA close to her Thousand Oaks home in her white Mercedes-Benz without her ring.
Sources claimed it was unlikely that the prenuptial agreement will be overturned, and it was more likely that Spears would give Asghari a check and that would be the end of the matter.
Who is Laura Wasser?
According to Page Six, Laura Wasser, a celebrity divorce lawyer who has had A-list clients such as Kim Kardashian, Kevin Costner, and Johnny Depp, has been hired by Spears.
What is Laura Wasser's background ?
California Family Law is Wasser's area of practice. She is based in Los Angeles. She went to the University of California, Berkeley, and graduated from Loyola Law School with a law degree. She lives in Malibu, California, and has two young sons.
For the past 10 years (2012-2022), Wasser has consistently been recognized as one of Southern California's Top 50 Women Attorneys and the Top 100 Lawyers in California by the California Daily Journal. She received the Zephyr M Ramsey Award by the Harriet Buhai Center for Family Law in June 2008.
What did Sam Asghari's attorney Neal Hersh say?
Spears has not responded to the reports of their divorce, but she did break her silence by sharing an odd Instagram post in which she promised to buy a horse "soon." Despite the couple having a "iron clad" prenup that safeguards the singer's premarital assets, Asghari's attorney Neal Hersh said that their finances still needed to be resolved.
"[Sam] has yet to determine the full nature and extent of the separate property assets and obligations of each party," Hersh wrote, adding, "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."
Sources close to Spears reportedly claimed that Asghari was threatening to publish information about the singer that was "extraordinarily embarrassing" if she does not renegotiate the terms of the prenup.
Who has custody of Jayden James and Sean Preston ?
In 2008, when Spears was battling her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, for custody of their sons, she tapped Wasser for assistance. The former couple, who divorced in 2006 after two years of marriage, share two sons, Jayden James, 16, and Sean Preston, 17.
The 'Toxic' singer was reportedly happy about the order for her pay $20,000 per month in child support, according to Wasser. Federline reportedly has sole custody of the boys, and the monthly payments reportedly increased to $60,000 in 2018.
