Pop star Britney Spears asks court to curb father’s power and control over her | ITV News

Pop star Britney Spears has asked a court to prevent her father from returning to a role that gave him broad control over her life and career that he has had for nearly 12 years.

Documents filed by her lawyer give a rare glimpse of the wishes of the 38-year-old superstar, as she requests that her father not return to the role of conservator of her person.

The conservatorship arrangement has had vast power over Ms Spears for over a decade.

The position gave her father power over her major life decisions from 2008 until 2019, including her relationship with her teenage sons.

But the court documents reveal: “Britney is strongly opposed to James return as conservator of her person”.
