Britney Spears files court docs asking that her father Jamie be removed as conservator

[britneyausfan]

Britney Spears no longer wants her father Jamie Spears to run the show and is hoping to make some big changes regarding her controversial conservatorship.

Britney's court-appointed attorney, Samuel Ingham, filed new court docs asking Jamie Spears be relieved of his duty as sole conservator over her estate. 
 

Jodi Montgomery

Jodi Montgomery, who was made Britney's temporary conservator over her personal affairs last year, may be made Britney's permanent conservator. Montgomery signed on after Jamie Spears stepped down as the personal conservator due to health complications.

"BRITNEY is strongly opposed to having JAMES return as conservator of her person. Rather, she strongly prefers to have Ms. MONTGOMERY continue in that role as has done for nearly a year," the filing says.
 

Removing Jamie Spears

Jamie remained conservator over Britney's estate, though she no longer wants her dad to be handling her estate any longer either. 

Her attorney says Britney wants a "qualified corporate fiduciary" to manage the business side of things.

TMZ states it's unclear at the moment whether Britney wants to keep Jamie as a co-conservator at all.

They also add that sources close to the situation are looking into adding a corporate fiduciary, likely a bank, keeping Jamie on as co-conservator of the estate.

TMZ doubles down that, according to the docs, it's unclear that Britney has agreed to that arrangement or not. 

The docs also state that Britney does not want to perform at this time. "No more Vegas residency," TMZ writes. 

"The attorney says a major overhaul in how her conservatorship is run is needed to reflect her current lifestyle and her wishes."

Britney's lawyer is seeking additional input on these matters.
 

Terminating the conservatorship

Interestingly, according to The Blast, Britney may be considering filing to terminate the conservatorship entirely, though she has not filed that motion yet.

"Without in any way waiving her right to seek termination of this conservatorship in the future, BRITNEY would like Ms. MONTGOMERY's appointment as conservator of her person to be made permanent," Ingham wrote.

Ingham added that he believes Mr. Spears will aggressively fight the conservatorship being contested.

"For many reasons, I have concluded that any effort to achieve my client's objectives as stated above will be aggressively contested by JAMES," the filing states.

He continues, "BRITNEY herself has expressed to me a desire that we associate an attorney or law firm with substantial expertise in handling contested litigation in a highly complex case such as this one through trial."
 

The Phases

Britney's conservatorship was broken down into three phases. 

"The first phase can be described broadly as "triage": her conservators rescued her from a collapse, exploitation by predatory individuals and financial ruin," Ingham says.

He continued, "The second phase covered BRITNEY' s performing years: with the aid of a personal manager, a business manager, and many other individuals, BRITNEY was able to regain her position as a world-class entertainer with multiple world tours, a television series and a residency in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas residency ended December 31, 2017, and her last live tour performance occurred on October 21, 2018."

"The third phase of the conservatorship reflects BRITNEY'S stated desire not to perform at this time We are now at a point where the conservatorship must be changed substantially in order to reflect the major changes in her current lifestyle and her stated wishes."

They are hoping to make these changes to the conservatorship to better reflect her lifestyle.

"Based on the foregoing, I respectfully recommend that this court seek input from all parties and make appropriate orders to facilitate the implementation of my client's wishes as stated above, which I also believe to be in her best interests," he states.

A formal hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, August 19.

The article states she wants to keep Jodi as her conservator. Not Lou. Jeez this title almost gave me a heart attack lol

[godneyjspears]

Omg I'm not lying when I say I felt sick when I read this title 

[britneyausfan]

oops i read that wrong

dlt thread

 

[Lauramiller2702]

I don’t understand why she wants to keep the conservatorship. Surely if she is being suppressed and basically held captive then she would file to terminate it and make plans with people she trusts to help her get her life back, not just change the people in control?!

[godneyjspears]

Love that TMZ is trying to convince us Britney will be happy to stay in the conservatorship if Jodi remains the conservator 

WE KNOW SHE DOSENT WANT TO BE UNDER A CONSERVATORSHIP end of story regardless of who the conservator is 

[vinay]

so she knows Jamie is bad for her, but why doesn't she file to terminate the conservatorship, does this mean she is okay with it? 

And I thought she loved doing Vegas residencies , now she is telling no more Vegas residency (which is a good thing)

So many questions and so little answers

When I tell you I almost had an aneurysm reading the title of this thread

"As for her business affairs, Britney's attorney says she doesn't want Jamie to be the only one handling her estate anymore -- which he's been managing exclusively since 2019 when his co-conservator resigned.

Instead, he says Britney prefers a "qualified corporate fiduciary" to manage the business affairs of her estate. But, what's unclear in the docs is if she's okay with keeping Jamie on as a co-conservator at all."

 

Interesting. It seems that Tri Star are calling the shots right now, almost as if Lou backstabbed Jamie with this one

I don't think Jamie is in control anymore if he ever was 

[sanpedro]

I’m tired of the back and forth, we have barely moved from the point we were at last year when this all started.

Can u actually not please

[ConceptD]

Sounds to me like they're trying to push Jamie out. I'm not liking this move tbh something is sketchy because if she was actually allowed to file things herself shed have petitioned it years ago.

change the title to jodi montgomery

Britney Spears is looking to make some big changes to her conservatorship -- and she's firmly against her father, Jamie, continuing to run the whole show.

Britney's court-appointed attorney just filed new court docs spelling out Britney's wishes -- she wants Jamie Spears out as sole conservator over her estate and appears to want the woman who since last Fall has been calling the shots to be the permanent conservator over her regular person.

In the docs, the lawyer says Britney "strongly prefers" keeping Jodi Montgomery in the position -- who has been assigned as the temporary conservator over Britney's person for nearly a year now. At this point, she says she wants to put her in that role permanently.

As for her business affairs, Britney's attorney says she doesn't want Jamie to be the only one handling her estate anymore -- which he's been managing exclusively since 2019 when his co-conservator resigned.

Instead, he says Britney prefers a "qualified corporate fiduciary" to manage the business affairs of her estate. But, what's unclear in the docs is if she's okay with keeping Jamie on as a co-conservator at all.

Sources with knowledge of the situation tell us conversations have been had about adding a corporate fiduciary -- which we're told would likely be a bank -- but that the talks have included Jamie staying on as co-conservator of the estate. The wording from Britney's side in the docs isn't clear if she's still open to that arrangement or not.

The docs also say what we told you last year ... Britney no longer wants to perform at this time -- as in, no more Vegas residency. The attorney says a major overhaul in how her conservatorship is run is needed to reflect her current lifestyle and her wishes.

Britney's attorney is seeking input on these matters from all others involved in her conservatorship. There's a hearing on the matter on Wednesday.
