Jamie Spears, through his lawyer Vivian Lee Thoreen, said he also wanted the conservatory to come to an end.
“[Jamie] Thoreen told CNN on Friday. “Whether there is an end to the conservatory depends on Britney. If she wants to end her conservatory, she can submit a petition to end it.”
“Jamie does not suggest that he is the perfect father or that he will receive a ‘Father of the Year’ award. Like any parent, he does not always see eye to eye on what Britney wants. But Jamie believes every any decision he made was in her best interest, ”Thoreen added.
CNN contacted representatives for Spears who had no comment on Thoreen’s remarks, and her attorney, Samuel D. Ingham III, told CNN he could not comment on a pending case. ‘
Jamie Spears was first appointed by a court in 2008 to be co-guardian of Britney’s estate and person, after a series of personal issues for the singer who played in public.
Ingham applied in August last year to remove Britney’s father as conservator. Ingham said during a trial in November that Britney was “scared” of her father. The judge decided to keep Spears as conservator and appointed Bessemer Trust to act as co-conservator of her $ 60 million estate.
“Jamie never disputed or objected to Bessemer being appointed as his co-conservator. And during the last trial it was reported that Jamie was trying to gain more power than his co-conservator, and that is completely inaccurate. What we are arguing ‘, is that Jamie and his fellow conservator should have equal power, it was always consistent,’ ‘Thoreen said.
She told CNN that her client has no control over whether his daughter needs a conservatory and that it belongs entirely to the court.
“The court investigator also interrogates everyone involved with the conservatory, and they take a deep dive to really study the conservatory to find out what’s going on. And what I can tell you is that every year the court puts the conservatory in place hold, “she said.
CNN has confirmed with the Los Angeles Supreme Court that conservatories are undergoing a review process, but does not specifically comment on Spears’ conservatory.
CNN got videos of the family from their two weeks together. In them, the singer is seen cycling and playing in the garden with her father, mother Lynne Spears, sister Jamie Lynn Spears, and her nieces.
“When the pandemic struck and everyone had to stay home, Britney wanted to go home. She wanted to see her family,” Thoreen said. “Jamie undoubtedly loves Britney, and he misses her a lot. But he respects her too, and he wants to give her autonomy and space. And as I said before, there is, like any other family, ups and downs. So, Jamie respects Britney’s space, and he also respects her lawyer’s request that he not contact her, but the key is that Britney knows that she can contact her dad at any time and that he will be there for “Whether there’s a conservatory or not, Jamie’s crazy about Britney.”
According to court documents obtained by CNN in December, Ingham said Britney would not act again as long as her father remained in control of her fortune.
Although Britney did not comment publicly on the ongoing conservatory battle, she did respond to recent speculations as to whether she intends to perform again.
