Variety reports that this ruling is coming a week after Spears raised both anger and interest over her conservatorship. It places no controls on her finances or her living situation. She also testified in open court, calling the arrangement abusive.AdvertisementIt is important to note that Spears' 13-year-old lack of control over her life has made it extremely difficult. Jamie Spears was initially the financial and personal conservator for his daughter (alongside Andrew Wallet, a lawyer) from 2008 to 2019. He had to retire from this role due to health problems. Jodi Montgomery, a woman, was named Spears' personal conservator. Judge Brenda Penny established a compensation called Bessemer Trust that would serve as Jamie Spears' financial co-conservator. The actual purpose of the legal proceedings that sparked this new wave of public opinion was to make Bessemer a permanent partner in the arrangement. This would ensure that Jamie Spears didn't have complete control over her daughters' wealth.Judge Penny announced today that Bessemer Trust is now a permanent coconservator, but also stated that she had denied Jamie Spears' request to be removed from the same position. Jodi Montgomery has Britney Spears' personal conversatorship. This covers day-to-day as well as medical decisions. Her father and the Bessemer Trust are her financial conservators, allowing her to control her fortune. I hope that this is at least partially transparentThere is still another issue at the heart of this. Jamie Spears and Montgomery are engaged in a public sparring match over whose conservatorship Britney most dislikes. According to Jamie Spears, Montgomery was allegedly responsible for the suffering of his daughters. She is also a personal conservator and was supposedly responsible for shocking revelations like Spears being denied an IUD removal so she can have more children. Montgomery, through an attorney, responded that Jamie Spears, the controller of his daughters' money, is responsible for the arrangement. Britney was not clear in her testimony as to which conservator she placed responsibility, but she was clear about one thing: she wants the arrangement to end.
