HOLLYWOOD - Britney Spears' custody case has just suffered another blow--her lawyer is on the verge of quitting.
The singer is currently embroiled in a bitter battle with her ex-husband Kevin Federline over the care of their two sons Sean Preston, 2, and 1-year-old Jayden James.
According to TMZ.com, Spears' lawyer Laura Wasser will submit legal papers formally withdrawing as her attorney on Monday.
Reports suggest Spears was a "problem client" who failed to listen to Wasser's advice.
The Web site reports Spears' new lawyer will be high-profile attorney Marci Levine.
The singer and her ex were expected to appear at a Los Angeles court on Monday to hear Federline's case for removing the children from Spears' care.
