Father Jamie Spears Stays as Curator of Britney Spears for Another Month (2015)
Britney Spears’ request to move her hearing to an earlier date in an effort to remove father Jamie as curator has been denied.
Judge Penny also rejected the 39-year-old singer’s request to immediately suspend Jamie, 68, as her curator, DailyMail.com can confirm.
The latest development in Spears’ ongoing battle for conservatorship means the Toxic singer will now have to wait at least a month to potentially be free from her father.
The custody order will remain in effect until the September 29 hearing, along with the 11 other custody cases on the court’s calendar on that date.
Jamie fought back on Friday against attempts to remove him from the conservatory that manages her money and affairs, saying there is “no reason” to do so and describing the singer as “mentally ill”.
The father of three claimed in a court filing that Britney struggles with her mental health so much that court-appointed professional Jodi Montgomery, who made decisions about the pop star’s life abroad, recommended her to her in a psychiatric emergency at a hospital. to be admitted to hospital.
In court documents filed Friday in Los Angeles, Jamie said Montgomery called him distraught last month and sought his help with his daughter’s mental health issues.
Britney’s parents Jamie and Lynne were seen in November 2012. They were divorced in 2002.
Jamie “has dutifully and faithfully served as the trustee of his daughter’s estate, without any blemish on his record,” the filing said.
He stepped aside from the part of the conservatory that determines his daughter’s life decisions in 2019, with Montgomery taking over, though her official status remains temporary.
Britney’s allegations at hearings in June and July that appear to have fueled Rosengart’s calls for her father’s removal, including “serious allegations involving forced medical treatment and therapy, improper medical care and restrictions on personal rights,” are “untested.” and pertain to matters that have long been Montgomery’s responsibility, not his, Jamie said in the court filing.
Jamie says the call for his urgent removal is “ironic” given the phone call he received from Montgomery on July 9.
‘Madam. Montgomery sounded very distraught and expressed her concern about my daughters’ recent behavior and overall mental health,” Jamie said in a personal statement attached to his police report.
Spears said they were discussing the possibility of hospitalizing Britney Spears for an emergency psychiatric shutdown
“The concern Ms. Montgomery expressed to Mr. Spears during their phone call is that forcing Ms. Spears to take the stand to testify or have her evaluated would move the needle in the wrong direction for her mental health.” , the statement said. said.
Montgomery was “saddened” that the call is “now being misrepresented and manipulated” by Jamie “to gain some sort of tactical advantage in the ongoing proceedings to remove him.”
Fighting between those involved with the conservatory has intensified and become increasingly public since Britney’s dramatic testimony at a June 23 hearing when she told a judge, “I just want my life back.”
A hearing on Rosengart’s request to remove Jamie is scheduled for September 29, unless the judge grants his request to hold one earlier.
The court reports come as Britney’s former bodyguard claimed she lives “like a prisoner in a gold prison” as the singer has her phone taps tapped and is not allowed outside unsupervised.
