Britney Spears is pressing on with her quest to end the conservatorship that has governed her personal and professional life for 13 years.
Full story below…
According to TMZ, the singer’s attorney carried out the star’s wishes and officially filed paperwork to dissolve the legal mandate – without the need for a medical evaluation.
As reported, Spears gave a bombshell testimony during a court hearing last week; one in which she described the conservatorship as “abusive” and the cause of her deep unhappiness. She stressed that is “not here to be anyone’s slave” and had less than endorsing words about her father (who is one of her conservators).
If uncontested, the filing could lead to Spears being granted her wish.
However, legal commentators are bracing for a challenge from those insisting the conservatorship remains in place.
Ultimately, the decision will be made by the presiding judge.
In the days following Spears’ testimony, the likes of Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Brandy, and Justin Timberlake have voiced support for her.
