The legal battle between Britney Spears and her father was over legal fees.
POP star Britney Spears and his father James ”Jamie” Spears have settled a lawsuit related to James Spears’ legal fees.
To write about it The New York Times.
James Spears sought compensation from his daughter for the legal costs of the guardianship case totaling two million dollars.
The parties reached an agreement on the matter, so it will not proceed to court. This means that the years-long legal battle between the singer and her father has finally come to an end.
The content or terms of the agreement have not been disclosed to the public, he writes The New York Times.
“Her wish to be free has now been fully realized,” Britney Spears’ lawyer Mathew Rosengart commented in a statement.
Court decided to dissolve Britney Spears’ almost 14-year patronage in November 2021. After this, James Spears applied for compensation for his legal costs.
In January 2022, Britney Spears’ lawyer Rosengart filed a counter-petition with the court accusing James Spears and others involved in the guardianship of financial abuse.
Rosengart argued that his client should not have to pay court costs. He justifies this by the fact that James Spears paid himself six million dollars during the patronage.
Additionally, according to court documents, Spears has paid more than $30 million in fees to various law firms during her guardianship.
