What to expect from Britney Spears’ next appearance in her trusteeship case

Britney Spears’ next step in her legal battle to end her controversial guardianship begins Wednesday afternoon.

Three weeks after his dramatic comments in court condemning the trusteeship that controlled his life for 13 years, a Los Angeles judge and others with legal power over the pop star will meet for a hearing on Wednesday to face the consequences.

Spears’ comments marked the first time she has spoken publicly about the end of her tutelage, which is largely controlled by her father, Jamie Spears. The explosive speech resulted in the resignation of his court-appointed lawyer, the withdrawal of a property management company that was supposed to oversee his finances as well as a flurry of accusations between his father and a professional curator on who is to blame for justice The circumstances, according to Spears, are “abusive” and must end.

Spears is not expected to speak again during the afternoon hearing, in which all parties are expected to participate remotely, but she could step in as she seeks to hire a lawyer of her choice. Specifically, Page Six reports that she has become closer to former federal prosecutor and veteran Hollywood lawyer, Mathew Rosengart.

At the June 23 hearing, Spears said she was forced to take medication and use an intrauterine device for birth control, said she was not allowed to marry her little one friend and said she wanted to own her own money.

“I just want my life back,” Spears said.

She was harshly critical of her father, who was the curator of her finances, and had more measured criticisms of Jodi Montgomery, the court-appointed professional who served as her personal curator, overseeing her life choices.

James Spears said in a legal file that the court should investigate the allegations and Montgomery’s role, pointing out that his daughter’s personal life has been out of his control since he resigned his post as personal curator in 2019, a role he played for 11 years. He opposed Montgomery’s request for money to hire security guards due to recent death threats, saying he had been subjected to similar threats for years.

Montgomery has denied that Britney Spears was prevented from getting married or forced to use birth control. She hit back at James Spears, claiming Britney Spears expressed no desire to oust him like she did with her father.

Montgomery said she was determined to stay at work and was putting a care plan in place to help end the guardianship, which she said James Spears had expressed no desire to do.

“Mr. Spears, as the curator of the domain, and Ms. Montgomery, as the curator of the person, should work as a team to ensure that Ms. Spears’ best interests are met, that she is on the right track.” for recovery and the end of her guardianship, and that she is living her best possible life, ”Montgomery said in a court record. “Instead, Mr. Spears decided it was time to start pointing fingers and launching media attacks… Mr. Spears’ bashing and his new ‘It wasn’t me!’ strategy – having been her sole or co-curator for over 13 years – leaves Ms. Montgomery with no choice but to defend herself. “

Despite nearly two years of work, Montgomery’s status is still technically temporary. She appeared to be on track for a permanent appointment before recent events.
