Britney Spears’ judge DENIES lawyer’s motion to remove dad Jamie as co-conservator one week after pop star’s testimony
BRITNEY Spears’ judge has reportedly DENIED the pop star’s request to remove dad Jamie as the conservator of her estate.
The bombshell court move comes after last week’s shocking testimony which Britney, 39, claimed the conservatorship was so “abusive,” she wanted to “sue her family.”

The singer officially requested to terminate Jamie’s involvement with the conservatorship earlier this week and on Wednesday, the judge denied her wishes, TMZ reported.
According to the outlet, a judge ruled that Jamie Spears will remain her co-conservator “at least for now.”
Britney’s attorney, Sam Ingham, wanted Jamie replaced by Bessemer Trust – a third party company that would be the sole conservator of her estate – but the judge denied the request.
They reportedly first filed for Jamie’s removal from the conservatorship back in November but Britney’s team was also denied then.
Recently, the lawyer once again filed legal docs to make Bessemer Trust the co-conservator – which the judge agreed to but insisted Jamie still stay on as a co-conservator himself, the outlet said.
They also claimed that the judge reiterated that the request to suspend Jamie specifically was denied.
This decision was made AFTER Britney’s emotional testimony in her first-ever court hearing last week.
