American singer-songwriter Britney Spears, in new court documents filed on Thursday, has requested a Los Angeles court to have her father Jamie Spears removed from her conservatorship straight away.
According to Fox News, Mathew Rosengart, who is Spears’ lawyer, filed an ex parte application on Thursday, requesting that the upcoming September 29 hearing for her conservatorship case be moved to later this month.
The pop star’s lawyer, on Spears’ behalf, reiterated her interest in possessing her father removed as conservator of her estate, but this time the singer’s want is for it to occur as quickly as feasible.
The court filing obtained by Fox News stated, “Conservatee Britney Jean Spears will and hereby does apply to the Court, on an ex parte basis, for an Order Advancing the September 29 Hearing Date on Conservatee”s Petition to Remove James Spears as Conservator of the Estate and Petition to Appoint Jason Rubin as Conservator of the Estate.”
It additional offered a second choice, stating “In the alternative, Conservatee moves for the immediate suspension of James P. Spears as Conservator and the appointment of Jason Rubin as Temporary Conservator pending the hearing presently set for September 29, 2021.”
For the application, the court filing cited the ”Toxic” singer”s testimony from the June 23 and July 14 hearings, declarations from Jodi Montgomery, at present the conservator of the particular person, and Lynne Spears as “good cause”.
Rosengart has requested the court to move the September 29 hearing “to the earliest date this Court’s calendar will permit on or after August 23, 2021.” His request also asks that the September 29 hearing be rescheduled to no later than September 5.
The documents reasoned the request by stating, “Conversely, every day that passes is another day of avoidable harm and prejudice to Ms Spears and the Estate. As described in the Verified July 26 Petitions and filings under Probate Code Section 2650, Ms Spears’s emotional health and well-being must be, and are the paramount concern.”
Britney’s lawyer additional goes on to state that the request is in the “best interests” of Spears, and as noted by Montgomery in a court filing earlier this month, he claims it is “critical” to her wellbeing.
Last month, Rosengart was appointed as Spears’ new counsel following bombshell testimony she gave in Los Angeles Superior Court in June. On June 23, the singer addressed Judge Brenda Penny, calling the conservatorship she’s been below for 13 years “abusive” and claimed her father has enjoyed his “control” more than her life.
She delivered a 24-minute rebuke in open court, denouncing her father’s manage more than her life, and saying that she was suffering from depression and lack of sleep.
In July, Rosengart asked that Jamie be replaced with Jason Rubin. Britney’s lawyer known as the move an “objectively intelligent preference to nominate a highly qualified, professional fiduciary in this circumstance.”
Thursday’s court filing is the most up-to-date in Britney’s 13-year conservatorship saga. After a public breakdown, Britney was placed below a conservatorship in 2008, and a judge then appointed Jamie as each the conservator of her particular person and the conservator of her estate.
