Britney Spears settles bitter legal battle with estranged father Jamie Spears

Screenshot 2024-04-28 at 3.02.31 PMBritney Spears has settled her legal dispute with her estranged father, Jamie Spears, finally ending their conservatorship case. The 42-year-old pop star's life and finances were under Jamie's control for 14 years, but the arrangement ended two years ago. The recent settlement resolves an outstanding issue regarding Jamie's request for Spears to cover his legal fees, with the details remaining undisclosed.

Spears' lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, expressed pride in representing her and stated that her desire for freedom is now fully realized now that she is no longer required to participate in court proceedings related to the conservatorship. 

After her conservatorship ended, Spears had many successful music collaborations and published a bestselling memoir, "The Woman in Me," which reached number one on the New York Times best-seller list in its first weeks.

Rosengart emphasized that Spears' achievements would not have been possible under the conservatorship and reiterated his gratitude for being able to assist in restoring her civil rights and liberties. While Jamie Spears' attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment, the settlement marks a significant milestone in Britney Spears' ongoing journey towards autonomy and independence.
