Britney Spears doesn't want her father to "impede" prenup with fiancé and expects conservatorship to end "this fall"

Britney Spears is continuing the push to remove her father, Jamie Spears, from his role overseeing her court-appointed conservatorship, with her attorney citing Britney's upcoming negotiations for a prenuptial agreement with her fiancé. The new legal filing comes several weeks after Jamie suggested the arrangement should come to an end after 13 years.
Britney's lawyer, Matthew Rosengart, petitioned a Los Angeles court on Wednesday to replace Jamie with a "temporary, short term" conservator when both sides meet again in court on September 29. Rosengart wrote he believes the conservatorship "completely and inevitably terminated this fall."
"In the meantime, if Mr. Spears will not resign now, even though he has petitioned in effect, for his own removal — Mrs. Spears requests that at the September 29 hearing, the Court suspend Mr. Spears as immediately and formally appoint his temporary successor," the filing reads.
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
