Britney Spears' court-appointed attorney to resign; Conservator Jodi Montgomery says singer asked her to "continue to serve"
CBSN
The court-appointed attorney representing Britney Spears in her conservatorship has filed paperwork to resign from the ongoing case after 13 years, according to court documents. The resignation request follows the pop star's damning public address to the court last month when she called the conservatorship "abusive."
Samuel Ingham III filed the request Tuesday in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Ingham did not immediately respond to CBS News' request for comment. An attorney for her mother, Lynne Spears, on Tuesday filed a petition for Britney to be able to hire her own private legal counsel. Last month, in her address to the court, Spears expressed her desire to hire her own attorney and ultimately end the conservatorship.More Related News
