Jamie Spears is finally removing himself from his pop star daughter’s conservatorship.
TMZ reported Jamie Spears filed paperwork saying while he doesn’t legally have to step down from Britney’s conservatorship, he wants to. He explained a public battle over the legal guardianship is not in the best interest of his daughter.
This comes weeks after the “Oops!… I Did It Again” singer said in court she wants her father removed after 13 years. Britney Spears’ new attorney filed a petition to replace her father as conservator with a certified public accountant.
Former federal prosecutor and Hollywood lawyer Mathew Rosengart began representing the singer last month.
“We are pleased that Mr. Spears and his lawyer have today conceded in a filing that he must be removed. It is vindication for Britney. We are disappointed, however, by their ongoing shameful and reprehensible attacks on Ms. Spears and others,” Rosengart said in a statement.
Rosengart was not happy with the attacks on Lynne Spears by lawyers for James Spears.
“We look forward to continuing our vigorous investigation into the conduct of Mr. Spears, and others, over the past 13 years, while he reaped millions of dollars from his daughter’s estate, and I look forward to taking Mr. Spears’s sworn deposition in the near future,” Rosengart said.
Clearly this is not the end of the ongoing legal battle between the two.
