Britney Spears may have taken one step closer to independence. The father of the American singer officially asked the courts, Tuesday, September 7, to end the guardianship measure under which his daughter has been placed for more than thirteen years, both for the management of her personal life and her financial affairs. , according to American media.
Criticized by Britney Spears, who launched a high-profile legal offensive so that he no longer has a say in his life, Jamie Spears agreed last month to give up being the pop star’s guardian. He then wished “Working with the court and her daughter’s new lawyer to prepare for a smooth transition to a new guardian”.
It was a major victory for the singer, 39, and a turnaround for the one who had initially challenged the legal process initiated by Britney Spears to withdraw this controversial tutelage. This measure gives her father full control over his finances since 2008, when the singer had raised concerns for his mental health after a well-publicized descent into hell.
” Things have changed “
Second turnaround Tuesday for Jamies Spears: according to US media citing new legal documents filed with the Los Angeles court responsible for examining the case, he now believes that his daughter “Is entitled to ask the court to seriously consider whether this guardianship measure is still necessary”. In this request, Jamies Spears says himself in favor of an outright lifting of guardianship measures, as his daughter requested this summer.
The document further claims that nothing in the law compels Britney Spears to undergo a new psychological assessment in order to be able to terminate this guardianship, an examination the artist expressly refused when she went to court in late June via a video link.
For about twenty minutes, speaking uninterruptedly with an extremely fast flow, Britney Spears had assured to have had to take drugs to control his behavior, not to have been authorized to make decisions concerning his friendships or his finances, and not to have was able to have an IUD removed when she wanted to have more children. “I just want to get my life back, it’s been thirteen years and that’s enough”, she begged.
“Guardianship has helped Miss Spears get through a major crisis in her life, to recover and move forward in her career, to get her finances and affairs in order. But recently things have changed ”, underlines the last request made by his father.
