Britney Spears’ father Jamie has agreed to step down as conservator

Britney Spears father has agreed to step down as her conservator in new court documents.

On Thursday (12 August), Mr Spears’ lawyer filed a 15-page document that said that he would relinquish his position after a proper “transition.”

“Mr Spears is willing to step down when the time is right, but the transition needs to be orderly and includes a resolution of matters pending before the court,” the document reads.

The news comes two weeks after Britney’s lawyer, Matthew Rosengart, filed a petition for Mr Spears’ removal with the Los Angeles Superior Court.

Although he has agreed to step down from his position, he’s also doubled down on his treatment of Spears and said a change would not be in the singer’s “best interest.”

“There are, in fact, no actual grounds for suspending or removing Mr Spears as the Conservator of the Estate… and it is highly debatable whether a change in conservator at this time would be in Ms Spears’ best interest,” the filing said.

“Nevertheless, even as Mr Spears is the unremitting target of unjustified attacks, he does not believe that a public battle with his daughter over his continuing service as her conservator would be in her best interests.

“So, even though he must contest this unjustified petition for his removal, Mr Spears intends to work with the Court and his daughter’s new attorney to prepare for an orderly transition to a new conservator.”

Soon after the news was announced Rosengart released a statement to TMZ about the decision.

“We are pleased but not necessarily surprised that Mr. Spears and his lawyer finally recognize that he must be removed. We are disappointed, however, by their ongoing shameful and reprehensible attacks on Ms Spears and others,” he said.
