Yesterday came the news that the world-famous singing star Britney Spears (38) wanted to do drastic changes in his many years of «conservatorship», which in Norway is called guardianship.
The guardianship has been subject to the pop sensation since 2008, and until September last year it was star of the star, Jamie Spears (68), who was empowered over Britney’s assets, personal decisions and issues related to her mental health.
Then Jodi Montgomery took over the baton and became the 38-year-old’s guardian, while the father remained guardian of the daughter’s finances.
According to the plan, Britney’s father will return to the role of guardian for the daughter at the end of August, but Britney has no desire for this.
In court documents retrieved by BBC it was revealed that Spears wanted Jodi Montgomery as a permanent guardian, and instead of her father, she wanted a “qualified authorized trust body” to manage her finances.

Continues as guardian
The court hearing took place yesterday, and now the decision has become known. It turns out that the trial did not go in Britney’s favor.
According to court documents such as AND Online has gained access to, besa Los Angeles court ruled not to make any immediate changes to Spears’ 12-year guardianship. The court chose to leave the current guardianship unchanged until February 2021.
This means that Jamie Spears will continue to be the guardian of the daughter’s finances until 22 August. Then Montgomery’s guardianship expires, and Jamie steps back into the role that Montgomery has had over the past year.
According to ET Online, Spears’ lawyer, Samuel Ingham, has until September 18 to file a lawsuit.
Ingham, who submitted the court documents ahead of Wednesday’s court hearing, has previously stated that Spears is “strongly opposed” to the father being given the power of attorney as guardian again.

According to Reuters Several fans of the subject with the name #FreeBritney appeared outside the courthouse to support the pop star during yesterday’s court hearing, which took place behind closed doors.
There, several are said to have demonstrated and shouted loudly that “the guardianship must go away”. Supporters of the #FreeBritney movement claim that Britney feels “caught” by the guardianship, and believes that the 38-year-old has sent cryptic signals to be released from it through his social media channels recently.
The singing star has yet to comment on the #FreeBritney movement that is constantly spreading, as well as yesterday’s court hearing on the guardianship.

Outraged at the accusations
Jamie Spears, on the other hand, has mentioned the movement as «a joke». The guardianship has led to the pop star’s fans raging against Britney’s father, who they believe controls, manipulates and exploits the daughter – and her mental health.
In early August, Jamie felt compelled to comment on the allegations in an interview with Page Six.
– All these conspiracy theorists know nothing. The world has no bearing. It’s up to the court in California to decide what’s best for my daughter. It’s nobody else’s business, he said.

There have also long been rumors that the father has taken advantage of his daughter’s success, and that he has stolen part of the money she earns. Britney is one of the best-selling artists of all time, where she can, among other things, look back on sold-out tours around the world and a number of lucrative collaborations.
It has given her a dizzying fortune most people can only dream of.
– I have to report every penny that is used to the court every year. How in the heck am I supposed to be able to steal something ?, Jamie continued in the interview.
