The request for Jamie Spears to be removed from Britney Spears conservatorship duties has been denied in court.
According to a court order obtained by E! News, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge denied the request from Britney’s lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III, to have Jamie Spears dropped as his daughter’s co-conservator.
“The conservator’s request to suspend James P. Spears immediately upon the appointment of Bessemer Trust Company of California, N.A. as sole conservator of the estate is denied without prejudice,” the document read.
Jamie Spears was named co-conservator of Britney’s estate and person back in 2008, with wealth-management firm Bessemer Trust Company then also being named as co-conservator of the estate.
This comes after Britney spoke publicly about the conservatorship, which was originally filed as a temporary conservatorship but has lasted for over 13 years, for the first time just recently.

“I just want my life back. It’s been 13 years and it’s enough,” Britney began.
“I’m not happy. I can’t sleep. I’m so angry. It’s insane. I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive. I want changes, I deserve changes.
“My dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship, including my management…they should be in jail.”
The New York Times have obtained details and documents which give a better insight into Britney’s situation, citing that the 39-year-old has been trying to cease her arrangement, behind the scenes, for a number of years.
The documents detail the strict rules and regulations Britney has been living under, where she must perform, at her father’s request, and receive an allowance of $2,000 while her father earns double.
