The firm says there's been a "breakdown" in communication with the pop princess that makes representing her "impossible," according to the filing, obtained by <a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/ap/ap_en_ce/storytext/people_spears/25758452/SIG=10kgejcp2/*http://CelebTV.com"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1199352752_2">CelebTV.com</span></a>.</p><p>A message left with a publicist for Spears' record label was not immediately returned.</p><p>Spears and Federline have been wrangling for months over custody of their sons, 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James.</p><p>Federline has temporary custody because Spears, who has limited visitation rights, has defied court orders. The two were married in October 2004 and finalized their divorce in July.</p><p>On a separate legal front, an attorney for Spears wants the city attorney's office to prove that the pop star is a permanent California resident and is subject to state laws that require her to have a valid California driver's license.</p><p>Spears faces up to a year of probation if convicted in a misdemeanor case of driving without a valid license, a charge to which she has pleaded not guilty. The case stems from a videotaped fender-bender in a parking lot in August. A hit-and-run charge has been dismissed.</p><p>Spears attorney J. Michael Flanagan earlier Wednesday requested that prosecutors be required to demonstrate that Spears, who owns homes in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1199352752_3">Louisiana</span> and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1199352752_4">Florida</span>, intends to make <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1199352752_5">Los Angeles</span> her permanent legal home.</p><p>"If they can establish that Britney is domiciled here in California, that she permanently intends to stay here, then she does have a requirement to get a license," Flanagan said in an interview. "Basically, it's a fix-it ticket."</p><p>Flanagan said Spears had a valid Louisiana license at the time of the incident and got a California license six days after the complaint was filed.</p><p>A call seeking comment from the city attorney's office was not immediately returned. The next court date is Jan. 25.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3267681661979579484-8952301485565259412?l=newsoncelebs.blogspot.com'/></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12644990515461706062noreply@blogger.com0
