Britney Spears has spoken! The pop star has requested a permanent change in her conservatorship, asking the courts to remove her father Jamie Spears and appoint Jodi Montgomery in his place.

Jodi, Britneyโ€™s care manager, temporarily took over the role in September 2019 when Jamie asked to be removed for โ€œpersonal healthโ€ reasons.

TMZ reports that in the newly filed court docs:

Britney โ€œstrongly prefersโ€ keeping Jodi Montgomery in the position โ€” who has been assigned as the temporary conservator over Britneyโ€™s person for nearly a year now. At this point, she says she wants to put her in that role permanently.

As for her business affairs, Britneyโ€™s attorney says she doesnโ€™t want Jamie to be the only one handling her estate anymore โ€” which heโ€™s been managing exclusively since 2019 when his co-conservator resigned.

Instead, he says Britney prefers a โ€œqualified corporate fiduciaryโ€ to manage the business affairs of her estate. But, whatโ€™s unclear in the docs is if sheโ€™s okay with keeping Jamie on as a co-conservator at all.

Sources with knowledge of the situation tell us conversations have been had about adding a corporate fiduciary โ€” which weโ€™re told would likely be a bank โ€” but that the talks have included Jamie staying on as co-conservator of the estate. The wording from Britneyโ€™s side in the docs isnโ€™t clear if sheโ€™s still open to that arrangement or not.

It sounds like Britney just wants to be Britney and be able to live her life as she pleases. Hopefully, sheโ€™ll be able to do just that.
