Father Britney Spears pleads for end of receivership | Stars

entertainment">The American singer who has many hits to her name was placed under guardianship thirteen years ago after a mental breakdown. Her father has been one of the trustees since then, but last month announced that he would resign from that position after a testimony from his daughter. It is unexpected that he is now calling for the receivership to be lifted completely.

entertainment">The judge agreed to Britney’s request in July to select her own lawyer. She was previously legally assisted by counsel appointed by her supervisors. Jamie states in his request on Tuesday that if his daughter is deemed capable of doing so, the restrictions of the guardianship should no longer apply. He also indicates that much has changed in the last thirteen years and that the reasons for the receivership at the time “may no longer apply.”

‘Public struggle’

entertainment">Father Spears agreed last month to a request to withdraw in the interests of his daughter. He concluded that “the public battle with his daughter would not be the best thing for her.”

entertainment">Spears’ mother has sided with her daughter before. In her statement, Lynne Spears sided with Britney’s request to fire her father as trustee. She said her ex-husband is “incapable of putting his daughter’s interests ahead of his own.” She indicated that she is willing to testify against Jamie in the lawsuit that may come to an end.
