Superstar Britney Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, is agreeing to give up control of his daughter’s conservatorship. But he hasn’t given a date for his resignation.
On Thursday, he filed in Los Angeles Superior Court a response to the singer’s petition for his suspension. He says he is finally stepping down and will cooperate on a court transition.
Jamie Spears’ filing also said he needed to wrap up certain matters before he could hand over the assignment. “When these matters are resolved, Mr. Spears will be in a position to step aside,” the document states. “But there are no urgent circumstances justifying Mr. Spears’ immediate suspension.”
In 2008, in a court-ordered arrangement, Jamie Spears placed his daughter in conservatorship under his control.
Britney was suffering a humiliating public breakdown. And she agreed to the arrangement due to threats that she wouldn’t be allowed to see her children again. She was also assured it would be a temporary arrangement.
