American Singer, Britney Spears’ father, Jamie Spears has been suspended from the legal arrangement that gave him control over his daughter’s life. This is following the singer’s multiple accusations of years of abuse. Jamie has been his daughter’s conservator since as far back as in 2008. And has controlled her life, at least in par since then. This was as a result of concerns over her mental health.
On Wednesday, in a court hearing in Los Angeles, Judge Brenda Penny formally ended the conservatorship. She went on to create separate conservatorship with an accountant the singer’s legal team chose, John Zabel.
However according to Jamie, Zabel, is not qualified to oversee the singer’s $59m (£46m) fortune.
Although Jamie has repeatedly denied any abuse, he filed to end the conservatorship after the award winning star requested another guardian.
Spears’ conservatorship is split into two. One controls her estate and financial affairs, the other for her as a person. Under this legal agreement, she has not controlled her finances since 2008.
Although, Spear was in charge of both parts of the conservatorship in the beginning, he stepped down as his daughter’s personal conservator in 2019 due to health reasons.
Jodi Montgomery, a care professional, replaced him in that role on a temporary basis.
Britney Spears’ lawyers have requested for a new hearing to hold in the next 30 to 45 days. This is to decide whether to end the conservatorship totally.
This following the award winning singer’s engagement to Hollywood actor, Sam Ashgari.
