Britney Spears hires high-powered divorce lawyer amid Sam Asghari split

Britney Spears has stacked her legal team with divorce lawyer to the stars Laura Wasser amid her separation from Sam Asghari, a source tells Page Six exclusively.

An insider with knowledge of the situation confirmed to us Wednesday that the pop star hired the powerhouse attorney as her split from the Iranian-born actor is likely to turn into a nasty battle inside the courtroom.

Reps for Asghari did not return Page Six’s request for comment on those allegations.
