The filing read, “As Mr. Spears has said, again and again, all he wants is what is best for his daughter. If Ms. Spears wants to terminate the conservatorship and believes that she can handle her own life, Mr. Spears believes that she should get that chance.”
UPDATE: In the documents filed Spears says that he wants to eliminate the conservatorship, but he will remain on as conservator to finalize the accounting. In other words, rather than stepping down, he is hanging on to finalize the accounting. He is still going to be involved in Britney’s finances.
The conservatorship
After a public breakdown in 2008, Britney Spears was put in a conservatorship. For 13 years Jamie has been in charge of her money. He was also in charge of the megastar’s career and to a large extent her day-to-day activities.
During these 13 years, she has performed on world tours and at a Las Vegas residency. She was also a regular on a TV show. She has made tens of millions of dollars. And has had no access to her money.
