Sharjah24 – Reuters: An attorney for Britney Spears on Monday asked a Los Angeles court to remove her father as conservator of her roughly $60 million estate following the pop singer's allegations that he had used the arrangement to mistreat her.
Mathew Rosengart, newly appointed as the performer's personal legal representative, requested in legal filings that the court replace Jamie Spears with certified public accountant Jason Rubin as the overseer of the singer's finances.
The matter will be discussed at a hearing in Los Angeles Superior Court scheduled for Sept. 29, Judge Brenda Penny said.
Britney Spears, 39, was placed under a conservatorship that controls her personal and financial affairs in 2008 after she suffered a mental health breakdown. The details of her mental health issues have never been revealed.
The "Stronger" singer recently told the court she wanted her father immediately removed and charged with conservatorship abuse.
In new court filings, Rosengart called the conservatorship a "Kafkaesque nightmare" that had grown "increasingly toxic and is simply no longer tenable."
He billed the proposed removal of Jamie Spears as an "initial narrow step" that might be followed by a bid to end the conservatorship entirely.
