Paparazzi sprinted after troubled pop princess Britney Spears as she left a Los Angeles office building housing the offices of ex-husband Kevin Federline's attorney.
The photographer scramble Thursday came a day after Spears' lawyers filed a motion in court asking to be relieved as her attorneys due to a "breakdown" in communication with their client.
It wasn't immediately known what occurred during Spears' visit to the Century City office tower, but Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, has been trying to depose Spears as a step in the ex-couple's child-custody case.
Spears called in sick for a Dec. 12 court-ordered deposition, but was photographed that day driving with a friend.
Wearing a hot pink dress and sunglasses, Spears drove off Thursday in her white Mercedes-Benz as building security guards dashed across the driveway to keep photographers on the sidewalk and off the property.
Spears and Federline have been wrangling over custody of little sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.
Federline has temporary custody of the children because Spears, who has limited visitation rights, has defied court orders. The two were married in October 2004 and divorced in July.
