Jon Gosselin Fires Attorney; Hoping To “Work Things Out” With Kate

Cash-strapped former reality star Jon Gosselin has parted ways with his attorney.

The annoucement comes one day after the lawyer — who had been representing the father of eight in a custody battle with his ex-wife Kate — issued a disparaging public statement about America’s latest Dancing With The Stars castaway.

“Mr. Anthony List Sr. Esq. Is not my representing attorney,” Jon Tweeted early Thursday. “I terminated him on April 15, 2010. “He has no legal right to speak to the press or anyone on my behalf,” Jon’s Tweets continued. “Kate, her attorneys and I are moving forward to work out things privately and amicably,” he later added.

The Gosselins are due in court on the custody matter on May 25.
