There was sad news out of the Britney Spears camp last week, as it was learned that she and Sam Asghari were headed for divorce after six years together and just over a year of marriage. Rumors of trouble between the two had circulated for months beforehand, particularly after they were both pictured without their wedding rings. As the couple begins to officially part ways, fans can be assured that the embattled pop star is in good hands, as she has one thing in common with Angelina Jolie, Kevin Costner and several other celebrities who have been through the process of ending their marriages.
Britney Spears has retained the services of famed divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, Variety reports, who, along with currently assisting Kevin Costner with his split from Christine Baumgartner, was the Mr. and Mrs. Smith star’s lawyer in the early years of her proceedings with Brad Pitt. Wasser has also litigated the end of marriages for many other celebrities, including Kim Kardashian, Johnny Depp, Maria Shriver and Stevie Wonder. In addition to Wasser, Spears will continue to work with Mathew Rosengart, who was responsible for getting her out of her 13-year conservatorship.
