Singer Britney Spears and her father, Jamie, have reached a settlement in their lingering legal conflict.
The superstar was under a restrictive conservatorship by her father from 2008 until 2021.
Even after the conservatorship ended in 2021, Britney and Jamie continued to clash.
The father and daughter were disputing over his management of her assets during the conservatorship and his claims for legal fees.
Jamie sought court approval for over $2 million in legal fees incurred during the conservatorship and additional costs for his present legal representation.
Ultimately, Britney was mandated to cover her father’s legal expenses, as reported by TMZ.
CONCLUSION
In September of 2021, the case revisited a courtroom in Los Angeles, with Judge Brenda Penny presiding. She issued several impactful decisions after Jamie had chosen to drop the conservatorship the preceding month.
Judge Brenda Penny decided to terminate Jamie’s role as conservator for Britney but clarified that this would not signal the complete cessation of the conservatorship.
The judge declared in court: “Based on the filings I have reviewed — and I’ve reviewed them all — I believe that suspending Jamie Spears is in Britney Spears’ best interests.
“The current situation is untenable. It is critical that the toxic environment Jamie Spears has cultivated be addressed immediately,” the judge added.
Subsequently, a temporary conservator replaced Jamie for approximately one month.
