New court docs: Britney Spears’s lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, responds to her dad Jamie’s recent petition to terminate. Says Britney fully supports termination but pleads again for Jamie to be suspended immediately.
Alleges that Jamie’s ABRUPT about face on terminating is bc he is trying to rehab his reputation, avoid being suspended at Sept 29 hearing and trying to impede a full investigation into his conduct for the last 13 years of the conservatorship.
Says Jamie’s initial “willing to step down” filing in August was an attempt to avoid responding to extensive discovery as well as a sworn deposition.
Again says Jamie’s expensive legal bills, including over $500k for “media matters,” should NOT be paid for by Britney.

Anticipates court may want to see a “termination plan” before the conservatorship is “completely and inevitably terminated this fall.” Seeks to appoint a temporary successor conservator at Sept 29 hearing in the meantime.
Reveals that Britney had been planning to file her own petition to terminate AFTER first getting rid of Jamie (and his ability to object to termination)
Adds that Britney’s recent engagement to Sam Asghari is another reason why Jamie must go-- Rosengart and Britney are engaging a family law attorney to craft a prenup but it will require cooperation with conservator of the estate.
Says J has mismanaged B's $$$: calls out his $2k/mo for “apparently unused ‘office’ space” & claims he failed to obtain a contract from the former business manager Tri Star (run by Lou Taylor) & alleges potential “self-dealing” re: their childhood home & Bridgemore Timber assets
Notes that Jamie’s petition agreed that no evaluation is necessary to terminate under the probate code.
Argues that Jamie cannot pick and choose when he thinks Britney has the capacity to make decisions, depending on whether he likes them or not.

Asks for a future evidentiary hearing for the accounting and financial issues currently being disputed.
Statement from Mathew Rosengart:
“My client looks forward to the prompt termination of the conservatorship and to her freedom."
"Our investigation into the financial and other abusive conduct at issue is ongoing.”
