Britney Spears‘My father filed an application on Tuesday to end the court supervision that controlled the singer’s life and money for 13 years.
James Spears Filed a petition to terminate supervision to the Los Angeles Superior Court.
“As Mr. Spears said over and over, all he wants is the best for his daughter,” the document said. “If Ms. Spears wants to end supervision and believe she can handle her life, Mr. Spears thinks she deserves this opportunity.”
Judge Brenda Penny, who oversees the case, will need to approve this move.
There was no immediate response to an email requesting comment from attorney Britney Spears.
James Spears has been the target of his daughter and the public’s outrage surrounding regulators.
Britney Spears’s lawyer’s petition for his removal will be heard at the next hearing in the case on September 29.
James Spears stated in an August 12 document that he planned to resign as her financial manager, but did not provide a timetable. He gave up control of her life decisions in 2019, and only retained the role of overseeing her money.
He has repeatedly stated that there is no reason to remove him, he is only acting in the best interests of his daughter.
The regulatory agency was established in 2008, when Britney Spears began to have a very open psychological struggle because the media was fascinated by every moment, and groups of paparazzi followed her everywhere, and she lost custody of her children.
The documents filed on Tuesday quoted records from that afternoon, quoting how Britney Spears’ “impressive request” to terminate the legal arrangement made in a speech delivered in court on June 23 made it possible for those who wish to see her. Those who were released were shocked.
“I just want to go back to my life,” Britney Spears said. “And it’s been 13 years, it’s enough. I haven’t owned my money for a long time. My wish and dream is to let this all end without being tested.”
The document on Tuesday stated that Spears said she did not know that she could submit a petition to end supervision, and she has not yet done so. It said Penny’s decision to allow her to hire her own lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, showed that the court trusted her in a major choice. It said that there is evidence that she “demonstrated a certain degree of independence” for things like driving around Southern California by herself.
It also cited her desire to make her own decisions about treatment and other medical care.
Spears said in a speech on June 23 that she was forced to take certain drugs under supervision and used IUD against her wishes for birth control.
James Spears called for court investigations of these and other allegations, saying that these issues are beyond his control because he has resigned from his daughter’s guardianship and handed this role to the court-appointed professional Jody Montgomery ( Jodi Montgomery).
Britney Spears’ new lawyer Rosengart said when he was hired in July that he intends to help terminate supervision and questioned whether supervision needs to be established first, although he has not yet applied for termination of supervision.
Instead, he said his priority was to get rid of James Spears, and he asked him to resign on the spot when he first appeared in court.
Rosengart applied for the removal of James Spears on July 26, claiming that he had mismanaged his daughter’s money and affairs, and hinted that he was using his supervisory power for personal gain. The judge refused to hold an emergency hearing on the matter, saying that the hearing could be heard at an appropriate time in September.
The lawyer said that he welcomed James Spears’s statement that he would eventually step down, but said it would not slow his efforts to remove him.
Spears owes her initial existence to the regulators for keeping her career, even though she has now put her work on hold for more than two years.
Fans who opposed her situation and saw in the pop star’s Instagram posts that they believed to be seeking help began calling #FreeBritney online and began appearing outside her court hearings to protest.
In recent months, celebrities from Miley Cyrus to Britney Spears’s predecessor Justin Timberlake have joined the outcry, especially when Spears delivered two passionate sessions in court in June and July. After his speech.
Penny, the judge who has the ultimate authority over supervision, did not seem to intend to end it before, but she has never had such an obvious opportunity.
