A court has ordered that Britney Spears must pay $120,000 dollars in legal fees to ex-husband Kevin Federline for attorney bills he has racked up in his protracted custody battle.

In court documents released Tuesday and obtained by Usmagazine.com, L.A. County Commissioner Scott L. Gordon ruled that Spears pay all but $40,000 dollars of Federline's October 10 request for $160,000 in legal costs from his ex.

The decision was made based on the former couple's income petitions -- and while "recording artist" Spears claims an average monthly income of $737,000, "self employed performance artist" Federline has previously stated he has no net income after business expenses.

Federline currently receives from Spears $15,000 in child support, and also $20,000 a month in spousal support, which expires on November 15.

In addition to paying Federline's legal fees, the documents show that Spears has paid her attorneys $225,000 since her divorce was declared final on July 30.
