Britney Spears conservatorship battle returns to court today
CBSN
Lawyers for Britney Spears and her father Jamie are back in court where a Los Angeles judge could decide whether to keep her father as a conservator or end the court-ordered arrangement after 13 years. The hearing is scheduled to begin Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Earlier this month, Jamie said he was willing to step down from his role in the conservatorship and later filed a petition to end the arrangement altogether, saying "all he wants is what is best for his daughter."
However, Britney's attorney, Matthew Rosengart, said the court's priority should be to remove her father from his position of power, claiming his presence causes Britney daily harm. In a recent filing, he said removing Jamie would be the first step to "ending the Kafkaesque nightmare imposed upon by her father so that her dignity and basic liberties can be restored."
