Britney Spears’ father James Parnell Spears wants her to pay the huge bill in their legal battle
Princess of pop, Britney Spears’s father James Parnell Spears requests her to estate cover the steep cost of his legal fees.
As per Entertainment Tonight, in a declaration recently filed by Jamie Spears’ attorneys, the singer’s father has requested her estate cover the costs of approximately $2 million.
Jamie is also asking to be compensated for the time he spent as his daughter’s conservator from the period of November 1, 2019, to February 28, 2021, Fox News confirmed. The court document notes that payments for his time as conservator up to October 31, 2019, have already been accepted.
Jamie states in the filing, “I am authorized and allowed to receive compensation through my personal services corporation Spears Management, Inc., for services performed as Conservator of the Estate of Britney Jean Spears, in the amount of $16,000 monthly plus $2,000 monthly for the cost of an office space in a secure location that is dedicated to Ms. Spears’ activities.”
The court document comes to Britney’s attorney officially requesting that Jodi Montgomery be made her permanent conservator. Britney, through her attorney, also asked that Jamie may quit his position altogether and mentioned a job well done on behalf of Montgomery.
Montgomery was Spears’ acting conservator while Jamie temporarily stepped down from the position in 2019 due to “health reasons.”
Currently, both Jamie and Bessemer Trust oversee Spears’ estate, which includes all of her financial decisions. Jamie also stands a chance to question any petition to completely remove him from his post as co-conservator.
In the previous month, David Glass, a certified family law attorney and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology who is not involved in the proceedings, called the prospective step as a “big step up” for Montgomery, if she landed it.
