Amid Britney Spears’ ongoing conservatorship battle, her father, Jamie Spears, finally stepped down from his role as conservator of her estate.
Celebrity Jamie’s attorney cited the “public battle with his daughter” as his reason. After 13 years of serving as conservator of Britney Spears’ estate, her father, Jamie Spears, has finally agreed to step down. On Thursday, Aug.12, Jamie finally filed his resignation at the Los Angeles Superior Court, according to Variety. This development in the drawn-out legal saga comes after Britney was granted the right to hire her own counsel during a hearing on Jul.14. She hired entertainment lawyer Mathew Rosengart, who said in court, “If he loves his daughter, it’s time to step aside so Ms. Spears can move forward to a healthy, productive life.” When Jamie didn’t, Rosengart filed a petition for Jamie’s suspension 12 days later. “I announced in Court on Jul.14 that, after 13 years of the status quo, it was time for Mr. Spears to be suspended or removed as conservator and that my firm and I would move aggressively and expeditiously for that outcome,” Rosengart told Variety.
