BRITNEY Spears’ judge denied her lawyer’s petition to “immediately remove her dad Jamie” as her conservator, The Sun can confirm.
She also denied the lawyer’s request to move up the hearing date from September to August.
According to LA court documents, the judge on the case, Brenda Penny, has denied Britney‘s lawyer’s request to immediately remove her father Jamie or even move up the September 29 hearing to this month.
The hitmaker’s new attorney Mathew Rosengart filed legal docs on Thursday asking the judge to move up the hearing date to remove Jamie from late September to August.
Mathew’s most recent request demanded Judge Penny move the September 29 hearing up to August 23, 2021.
According to the lawyer’s docs, that date is the “soonest” available court date on the calendar.
In his own filings, Jamie objected to moving the date up.
The judge appeared to agree with Britney’s dad as she “denied without prejudice” the request to change the hearing to an earlier slot.
When Brit’s legal team requested Jamie’s immediate removal, they wrote in the docs that each day that passed with her dad as the conservator was “avoidable harm.”
“Ms. Spears’s emotional health and well-being must be, and are, the paramount concern,” the docs continued.
“Further, all interested parties forcefully agree that Mr. Spears’s continued presence as Conservator of the Estate is contrary to Ms. Spears’s best interests, health, and well-being, and that his prompt removal—or, at the very least, his immediate suspension—is ‘critical’ at this juncture.”
Britney’s attorney’s continued to argue: “For a variety of legitimate, compelling reasons in the conservatee’s best interests, the time has come for Mr. Spears’s reign to end.”
This latest setback for Britney of the judge denying the request comes after a tumultuous few days between the singer’s lawyer, her dad Jamie, and her personal conservator Jodi Montgomery.
Jodi recently demanded Jamie “stop the attacks” after he made a slew of allegations about Britney’s mental well-being in new court documents.
Jamie claimed he had a July 9 call with Jodi, during which she allegedly felt Britney was so “mentally sick” she was considering putting her under a psych hold.
In a new statement, according to People, Jodi fired back to refute his claims, saying this call was being “misrepresented and manipulated.”
According to Jamie, he told her that he’s no longer privy to Britney‘s medical information and wasn’t able to help, which led Jodi to question if putting Britney under a 5150 psychiatric hold would be the best option.
In response, Jodi said she “at no time… express[ed] to Mr. Spears that Ms. Spears would currently qualify for such a hold.”
She added that she feels it’s best for Britney is Jamie relinquishes his role as her conservator and goes “back to just being Ms. Spears’ father, and working on a healthy, supportive father-daughter relationship.”
In his own filings, Jamie said that his “sole motivation has been his unconditional love for his daughter and a fierce desire to protect her from those trying to take advantage of her.”
He added that he also brought Britney’s estate out of major debt and into prosperity, adding he ”dutifully and faithfully served as the Conservator of his daughter’s Estate without any blemishes on his record.”
Continuing, Jamie claimed that he also never denied Britney from going to Hawaii, as her legal team had previously claimed.
