It has been confirmed that Trope & Trope, the lawyers who have been representing Britney Spears in her ongoing custody battle with K-Fed, have decided to continue represent the fallen singer.

It was previously said that they were going to drop Britney as a client, but they’ve had a change of heart.

An officer of the court has confirmed that Trope withdrew their request to be removed as counsel at around 4 p.m. PST today.

Mark Vincent Kaplan, attorney for Kevin, says that he’s “pleased” Trope will remain on the case. “It will make dealing with this case easier,” Kaplan explains. “They are highly skilled and highly professional. They know the case, they know the law, and they know me.”
