Britney Spears' desire to be free of her father's guardian role in her life remains in limbo following another court hearing in LA, reported USA Today. Judge Brenda Penny, on Tuesday, declined to rule on Britney and her lawyer's legal efforts to regain greater control over her life and her $60 million fortune after 12 years under a conservatorship run mainly by her father Jamie.
He has been vigorously fighting back, arguing in legal filings that his daughter, 38, is still not ready to resume running her
own life, career and financial affairs, and that the career and millions she now has are the product of his management.Penny declined to immediately rule one way or the other, indicating she lacked adequate documentation. She set another hearing for December 16.
But Britney is clear about one thing. Her lawyer Samuel Ingham said, "My client has informed me that she is afraid of her father. She will not perform again if her father is in charge of her career.”The hearing was the latest in a case that dates to 2008, when the starlet was placed under a conservatorship, as they are called in California, due to a mental breakdown
that played out publicly in erratic behaviour and the loss of custody of her two young sons to their father, Kevin Federline.
Up until this year, Britney had not objected to her father being in charge of her person and her finances. But this year, according to court documents, she began demanding otherwise. Samuel even argued that Britney believes Jamie will attempt "to retain full functional control of her assets, books and records in the face of Britney's objections."The lawyer also cited Jamie’s recent failure to notify the singer that he had appointed a new business manager after the original one resigned. Britney also objects to the contents of his latest accounting reports, which he is required to make regularly to the court.
