Jamie Spears plans to step down as Britney Spears' conservator, he stated in a court filing. This will allow the pop star to free herself from the dominance of her father for over 13 years.An attorney for the father of the singer filed a 12-page document in Los Angeles County Superior Court Thursday. He stated that although there is no legal basis for suspending or removing him from his position, he did not believe prolonging the "public struggle with his daughter over his continued service as her conservator" would be in her best interest.Vivian Thoreen, his attorney, stated in the filing that Mr. Spears would work with the Court as well as his daughters' new attorney to ensure a smooth transition to a new conservator.Thoreen stated that Jamie Spears would step down after a number of outstanding issues relating to his estate management are resolved. He argued that there are no urgent circumstances that warrant Mr. Spears being suspended immediately.Mathew Rosengart, Britney's attorney, did not immediately respond when BuzzFeed News asked him for comment.Variety obtained a statement from Rosengart, in which he pledged to continue his investigation into whether the pop star was mismanaged. However, he called Jamie Spears' promise of leaving the conservatorship "vindication to Britney."His statement stated that he was disappointed by the ongoing shameful, and reproachful attacks on Ms. Spears, and other victims. We look forwards to continuing our vigorous inquiry into the conduct of Mr. Spears and others over the past 13-years, while he reaped million dollars from his daughters estate. I also look forward taking Mr. Spears' sworn deposition in due course.Spears requested that her father be removed from conservatorship and replaced by Jason Rubin, a professional fiduciary, and forensic accountant. According to court documents, Jodi Montgomery, who is currently the conservator of the singer's personal and medical lives, supported the move. Lynne Spears, her mother, also supported the decision.Jamie Spears' expected departure is the latest in a string of major changes in her case. She had denigrated the conservatorship at a public hearing held June 23. Calling it "abusive" she asked that it be ended, without her having to go through an evaluation.
