LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Los Angeles County Superior Court commissioner has authorized the lawyers who represent Britney Spears and her family in various legal cases to be paid more than $372,500 for their services through March 31.

Commissioner Reva Goetz on Thursday also delayed action on a motion to put Spears' companies and business entities in her trust. It will now be heard on July 31, the same day a probate court is scheduled to decide on a permanent conservatorship for the troubled pop singer.
