in that position -- petition, she said she was afraid of her father, jamie spears, and would like herip transferred to oak wealth fund. her father was appointed a conservator, giving her control -- in control of her personal well-being and finances. in 2019, he haed over control of britney's personal and medical care, but held onto control of britney spears' fin ances. here's what this latest ruling means. >> this is a request back in november to stop jamie spears being her conservator. he is a co-conservator with a lady called jalen montgomery, and britney wanted her dad sinnott be part of i what the judge has agreed to, he will stay there with the help of this wealth management fund, the bessemer trust. they are now co-conservators. what she has to do now, if she wants to completely get rid of her dad on this, she has to actually file for extermination of that contract, which is something she actually said in her testimony that she did not know she was allowed to do. she did not know she would ever be able to say that, and this has gone unheard. ros: she called the conservatorship a

he started coming out swinging and he pointed outlook if jamie spears wanted to do what's in the bestus he doesn't just take this opportunity to voluntarily step aside so judge what other things might he be doing that are due to his daughter's best interest but i thought it was a good first appearance of a strong one and hopefully it sets the tone. kennedy: he's not screwing around and you hear that from jamie spears and his attorney but rigney's dad and her conservative vendor person jody montgomery whose has $50,000 a month and private security which the judge agreed to which is ridiculous she and jamie spears have been pointing fingers back and forth so the two conservatives here -- conservatories can't get along something has to change change. how do you amend that? been at the judge has to take control here. a conservatorship is not about who gets to be the conservator and snobby privilege and an award. they haven't done anything to get a windfall this case for the conservatorship is not working the judge needs to address that. there's now competent lawyer. it's time to clean hou

britney spears made stunning revelations about her battle to remove her father, jamie spears as conservatorof her estate. the singer has been dealt another legal blow. a judge denied a request by her legal team from last november to pull her father from this role mean jamie spears will still oversee years. 60 million dollars state as a co-conservator a decision. the judge said was not based on the pop star's emotional testimony last week when she made startling claims under conservatorship was abusive that she was forced to perform on stage against are well given medications. she didn't approve up and was blocked from removing her i u d birth control. a lot of britney supporters are going to be disappointed with this decision because the judge did sign this ruling. brittany spoke to the judge had told her that she wanted out of the my long before there was a hash tag, after father is controlled or stayed for more than a decade. spears still has a follow petition to terminate her conservatorship. according to cnn, the star has been pressuring her legal team to file that paperwork needed to r

jamie spears is now limited to handling his daughter's finances. the court appointed conservator overseeing personal affairs has disputed the claims made in court last week. meantime, spears younger sister took to social media this week. >> to respond to criticism that she's failed to offer enough support, maybe hadn't support the way the public would like me to with the hashtag on a public platform. but i can assure you that have supported my sister long before there was a hashtag sport little after. i was nancy loo reporting in documents file late last night. >> jamie spears, the father's claims to have no power over his daughter's personal affairs for nearly 2 years. and he also urged the court to investigate jodi montgomery, the co-conservator. >> on the 13 year case for the serious allegations that britney has brought forward regarding issues of being forced to work and being properly cared for medically. it's 6.51. we'll be right back. right now, she's not thinking about her work or her schedule. hi baby. -hey ma, how are you doing? i'm doing

in new legal filings, jamie spears insist he had nothing to do with his daughter's poor treatment andestigation into her concerns. since her very public breakdown in 2008, the pop super star has been under a court-sanctioned conservatorship that has given her father and others powers over her personal financial affairs. during the explosive hearing last week spears said she had been drugged, forced to perform, and prevented from removing an iud meant to stop pregnancy. all decisions she says were approved by her father. but jimmy spears pushing back pointing out in court documents that control of his daughter's personal life and medical treatment isn't currently under his control. he blames jody montgomery, a temporary conservator who was brought none 2019 to oversy brittany's personal affairs. an attorney for montgomery says she has been a tirelessed a investigate for brittany and for her well-being also noting that decisions about marriage or family planning are not affected by conservatorship. but one expert says the rules and dynamics in a conservatorship are rarely straightforwar

or a new wealth management firm to serve alongside jamie spears and we should note that right beforen by britney spears, apparently she made a call to 911 reporting what she alleged to be conservatorship abuse. >> that is very interesting to hear. the other twist in all of this that i think is fascinating, representative matt gaetz has britney has not respon eqsts yat have to gain from interesting plot twist. congress obviously doesn't have jurisdiction over the los angeles superior court, where britney's case is pending, but if she does testify before congress she would gain this national audience. she would be able to shine a bright light on what she has described as this conservatorship abuse. we know that there are advocates who are claiming that conservatorship abuse exists not only with respect to britney's case but in cases pending in los angeles, and other counties throughout the country, so it would give her an opportunity to shed light on this and perhaps put a little pressure on the los angeles superior court to provide more oversight with respect to her conservatorship an

if you gave this decision to the people jamie spears would be out, britney spears would be in charge,ge in this case saw something, in a typical conservatorship what rationale could the judge have had to say we've got to keep jamie on? >> greg us the question that way. it is not about what the public thinks. i understand is a lot of passion on both sides of either of these issues but this is about what the law says that the fact is with this conservatorship it is being monitored by the court and the court is basically saying factually she still needs the conservatorship because britney wants to be relieved of any conservatorship. this judge is finding factually she still needs a conservatorship and with regard to her father, he's doing everything that is appropriate and it is being reviewed by the court so there's no need for the change. >> i wonder if society takes a look at conservatorships in general because i don't think 99% of american new what one was before britney came to before but we will see. we appreciate your time. >> 37 after the hour, trouble appears to be brewing in vi

now, jamie spears has filed two petitions with the court as of two days ago.enny to do an investigation and he said, whether you find that it's true, if my daughter's allegations are true, there should be changes to the conservatorship. if they aren't true, the conservatorship should continue. now, he's also saying in a turn of events that he doesn't want jody montgomery overseeing his daughter's medical decisions anymore. so, again, it's a back and forth situation. the next hearing is on july 14th. but something i really want to point out, alisyn, to the viewers, is that the only way that britney spears's conservatorship can be terminated is if her attorney, samuel d.-ingham iii, finally files the petition to terminate. we heard britney spears -- you can listen to the leaked audio on youtube if you don't believe me. she said more than once, she wants the conservatorship terminated. he needs to file the paperwork to terminate. i have sources close to britney telling me that she has been calling and begging him to please file that petition, alisyn, in the days
