The protest marks the latest move in the pop star’s ongoing and protracted legal battle. The singer’s lawyer, Matthew Rosengart, filed new court documents before Wednesday’s hearing – where no decision was made – asking the judge to reject Lynne Spears’s request for her famous daughter to pay her large legal bills. “Britney Spears has been the sole breadwinner of her family for decades, supporting her entire family,” Rosengart said in a statement to the Los Angeles Supreme Court on Tuesday. “Lynne Spears and her lawyer are seeking legal fees and costs – from Britney Spears – over $ 660,000,” Rosengart’s statement said, adding that there was “no legal authority” to support the singer’s mother’s request. , as it was not an official party. dealing with conservatism. “Britney Spears opposes the resolution as a whole.” Lynne Spears’s attorneys filed a lawsuit on November 1, 2021, seeking legal fees from Spears, whose conservation service ended on November 12, 2021, after more than 13 years. At Wednesday’s hearing, Lynne Spears’s lawyers argued what they said in their November statement: That the conservative pop star’s life began to change for the better a few years ago because of her mother’s efforts with lawyers. of. At the time, the singer denied that her mother was a positive force behind the scenes. “My dad may have started conservative 13 years ago, but what people do not know is that my mom was the one who gave him the idea,” Spears posted on her Instagram last November, after her mother asked to cover her legal fees. by her daughter. Rosengart’s testimony this week states that his client has been supporting her entire family for years, targeting her father, Jamie Spears, writing in court documents that she “had a long history of financial mismanagement before maintenance – including tax breaks. , mortgage failures, failed business ventures and a Chapter 7 bankruptcy “and that he enriched himself as a breadwinner by receiving more than $ 6 million in Britney Spears fortune in compensation,” fees and commissions “, benefiting from the very her job (even though she was a trustee, not the legal one, the administration or her talent representative). “ Rosengart writes that “Spears’s father’s financial situation was so bad in 2008”, that he borrowed “at least $ 40,000” from the star’s future business director, Tri Star Sports & Entertainment, who ended up overseeing his daughter’s financial affairs. of. at the same time he put her on a conservator. The singer’s lawyer also claims that Jamie Spears “sent her on a long and exhausting international tour of 97 performances and other works, from which she earned millions”. (In June, Spears testified that she was forced to work and tour while in conservation.) Rosengart writes that Spears’s mother and father are not to blame, but notes that the singer has paid for her mother’s house and related expenses. “Lynne Spears lived for at least a decade in a large, expensive Britney Spears home in Kentwood, La. , insurance, property taxes. “Landscaping, pool work, pest control, repairs and maintenance totaling about $ 1.7 million,” the statement said. Spears first entered her 13-year conservative term in 2008 by her father, Jamie Spears, who oversaw the court order as a whole before being suspended by a judge in September 2021, less than two months before the end of the conservative term. . There was almost no movement in Spears’ case until she testified in June 2021, telling the court that she had been the victim of maintenance abuse and had been trying to escape her father’s control for years. Following her testimony, she was given the opportunity to appeal to her own lawyer when she hired Rosengart, a former federal prosecutor and a powerful Hollywood lawyer. It was then that things began to change rapidly as the tables turned to Spears. In her November 2021 testimony, Spears’s mother asked for her court fees to be covered because she and her lawyers helped her daughter through a “crisis” and “got involved to help Britney get rid of what she saw as a very controlling existence “. Her lawyers said they were detained to “help Britney gain independence from her conservative father, James Spears.” On Wednesday, the judge did not rule on Lynne Spears’s court fees. The next hearings are scheduled for July, which is expected to address an issue other than the mother’s lawyers’ fees. Also ongoing is the ongoing and controversial litigation between the pop star and her father over his court fees, allegations of espionage and other alleged misconduct. Despite his suspension and the end of his conservative term, Elder Spears had previously asked the court to ask his daughter to continue paying his court costs, which Rosengart described as “disgusting.” In addition, Rosengart has accused Tri Star of being a “stone” in his attempts to obtain information about his client and is canceling summonses served by the star’s legal team.
