Britney Spears 'father will step down as her guardian, but only when the "time comes"

Britney Spears 'father will step down as her guardian, but only when the "time comes"

Despite the fact that some Western media reported yesterday that the father of 39-year-old Britney Spears, Jamie, has resigned his guardianship powers, he has not yet done so. In a statement from his lawyers, it is reported that Jamie is really ready to do this, but only when the right time comes.

In fact, there is no factual basis for the removal of Mr. Spears from the post of custodian of his daughter's property. And it is a moot point whether changing the keeper now would be in the best interests of Miss Spears. Mr. Spears is ready to resign when the time comes, but the change of guardian should be orderly and should include the resolution of issues before the court,

- it says in it.

In a court document, Jamie's lawyers claim that he helped his daughter at a time when she was "in crisis and desperately needed help" after "suffering mentally and emotionally" and "being manipulated and experiencing financial difficulties."

Mr. Spears came to the aid of his daughter to protect her,

- it says in it.

The document also claims that Jamie Spears intends to work with the court and his daughter's new lawyer to prepare for an orderly transfer of cases to her new guardian.

Through his lawyers, Jamie said that regardless of his official position, he will always love his daughter and act in accordance with her interests.

Recall that Jamie Spears became the guardian of his daughter 13 years ago. In recent years, he has managed her finances. Speaking in court in June, Britney said that all these years her life was a continuous nightmare: she was forced to work seven days a week, her personal and sexual life was controlled, drugged and forcibly sent to rehab for treatment. She demands the removal of her father from the position of her guardian and a fair punishment for him.
