Britney Spears’ new lawyer vows to move ‘aggressively’ to end her conservatorship

LOS ANGELES — An attorney recently hired by pop superstar Britney Spears vowed on Monday to move swiftly to end the restrictive conservatorship that she’s been subjected to for more than a decade.

“My firm and I are moving aggressively and expeditiously to file a petition to remove Jamie Spears unless he resigns first,” Spears’ attorney, Mathew Rosengart said outside the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in Los Angeles on Monday afternoon.

Rosengart, who was granted the ability to represent the “Toxic” singer last week, made the declaration after a highly-anticipated hearing in Britney’s battle against her “abusive” conversatorship was adjourned until next week.

Monday’s hearing was expected to include arguments over a money dispute between Spears’ legal personal guardian, Jodi Montgomery, and the singer’s father Jamie Spears.

Montgomery was set to argue that she needs upwards of $50,000 a month for a private security detail since she began receiving death threats in June, when Britney launched her court push to break free.

But Jamie Spears says lots of people connected with the case have received such threats, and it would be impossible to provide such a level of security for them all — so the necessary dough should come out of Montgomery’s own pocket.

The issue is likely to be broached next Monday, when the two sides will meet again in court.
