Following their weekend golf outing, Britney Spears' father Jamie and Kevin Federline reunited at Los Angeles Superior Court this morning for another custody hearing.

Britney's new custody attorney, Stacy Phillips, argued that Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, is charging the singer too much (his last bill: $500,000). The court had previously ruled that Spears has to pay Kaplan "reasonable" attorney's fees. Phillips says Kaplan deserves, at most, $175,000.

But Kaplan fired back, "We raised our fees from $550 to $600. Our fees for the experience and expertise for the practice level are far under market for the package you get when you hire me." He added, "This is not a simple custody case."

TMZ.com is also reporting that Phillips plans to dispute a $600,000 tab from Spears' previous attorney of the firm Trope and Trope.

Jamie's role as his daughter's co-conservator was recently extended until July 31.
