Larry Birkhead and his attorney Debra Opri split!

One of the men who says he is the father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, Larry Birkhead, has lost his right hand woman.

Birkhead's attorney Debra Opri issued a statement this morning saying she is out.

 "Larry Birkhead and I have terminated our attorney-client relationship effective immediately," Opri said in a statement.

The two have been fighting over many different issues over the past few weeks regarding the custody battle for Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern.  Opri and Birkhead have evidently not been seeing eye-to-eye since the battle over Anna Nicole Smith's remains.

Birkhead will attend hearings on Friday in the Bahamas represented by his attorney there, but there is no work on who will take over his case in the US.

Opri added, "My prayers will be with Larry and Dannielynn always."

Birkhead is battling Howard K. Stern who currently has possession of Dannielynn and is listed on her birth certificate as the father.  Opri has been Birkhead's attorney since even before Anna Nicole died on Feb. 8.
