A Los Angeles judge has denied Britney Spears' request to have her father Jamie removed from his role of overseeing her conservatorship.
The 39 year old virtually appeared in court last week, sensationally claiming her 68 year old father "should go to jail" for his treatment of her during the conservatorship, which was introduced in 2008.
Britney stated that she wanted private wealth management firm The Bessemer Trust as the sole conservators, ousting Jamie from his role.
However, a court filing shows Judge Brenda Penny has refused the singer's request, listing both her father and The Bessemer Trust as co-conservators.
According to The Guardian, the document states: "The conservatee’s request to suspend James P Spears immediately upon the appointment of Bessemer Trust Company Of California, NA as sole conservator of estate is denied without prejudice."
Britney was placed under the legal arrangement in 2008 following her public breakdown, but feels she is now ready to have it lifted.
She compared the conservatorship to sex trafficking in court last week, claiming she was intimidated into performing a US and European tour in 2018.
More shockingly, Britney claims she is unable to remove a contraceptive device from her body despite her wanting to try for a third child with boyfriend Sam Asghari.
Jamie has filed court documents of his own since Britney's virtual appearance in court, denying he was responsible for the restrictions places on her.
He has not been in charge of her personal affairs since September 2019 and was replaced by Britney's caregiver Jodi Montgomery.
In Jamie's court filing, it says: "Based on her statements to the court, Mr Spears is concerned that the petition to appoint Jodi Montgomery filed by Ms Spears' court-appointed counsel Samuel D Ingham III does not reflect her wishes.
"Ms Spears told the court on June 23 that she is opposed to being under a conservatorship and revealed her ongoing disputes with Ms Montgomery about her medical treatment and other personal care issues."
