Britney Spears’ next hearing on her controversial guardianship, contrary to her wishes, will not be brought forward. A judge at the Los Angeles Superior Court denied the application “
Los Angeles – In the fight against her father’s guardianship, pop singer Britney Spears has failed with the desire to pick up the pace to bring forward the next hearing in the case.
A judge at the Los Angeles Superior Court denied a corresponding application on Monday (local time), as several US media reported.
Spears’ new attorney Mathew Rosengart had requested that the next hearing of the singer be postponed from September 29 to the end of August, as the “Los Angeles Times” quoted from court documents. “Every day that goes by is another day of avoidable suffering and harm to Ms. Spears and her property,” the application said.
“The emotional health and well-being of Ms. Spears must be – and are,” Rosengart continued. The “continued presence of Mr. Spears” as guardian runs counter to the interests, health and well-being of his client, the guardianship must be ended immediately or at least suspended. According to media reports, the court did not give a reason for the rejection of the application.
Under guardianship since 2008
The singer has been under her father’s tutelage since 2008 after she collapsed mentally due to personal and professional problems. At first, Jamie Spears managed his daughter’s wealth and personal affairs. In 2019 he stepped down, but remained responsible for finances. The singer’s net worth is estimated at $ 60 million.
After a judicial hearing in July, the 39-year-old was allowed to appoint her own lawyer in the process for her guardianship. Mathew Rosengart, who she has chosen, has previously worked with clients such as Sean Penn, Keanu Reeves and Steven Spielberg. After the hearing, Rosengart had said in front of the press that, according to Spears’ wishes, he would now “act quickly and aggressively” to depose the father as guardian. dpa
