He had promised an "aggressive and rapid" remedy, and he kept his word.

Britney Spears' new lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, officially asked California justice on Monday that the singer's father is no longer in charge of her guardianship, and that he be replaced by a professional accountant.

While the Court ruled that the American singer, who has not had control of her finances and her personal life for 13 years, was able to choose her own lawyer, "she also has the capacity to appoint" the person. in charge of its tutelage, writes Rosengart.

A fortune of $ 60 million

On the advice of her lawyer, Britney Spears therefore chose an intermediate option: to dismiss her father at first before attempting, subsequently, to claim the annulment of his guardianship, a much more complex process. Currently, Jamie Spears is the only one at the helm of his daughter's financial management after the resignation of the specialist firm Bessemer Trust, which withdrew following the poignant testimony of Britney Spears a month ago. On Monday, the judge extended tutor Jodi Montgomery, in charge of the singer's personal and medical decisions, until October 8.

To manage her finances, Britney Spears wants to hire Jason Rubin, a chartered accountant specializing in guardianship and abuse of weakness.

The appeal filed challenges the management of his father, who declared bankruptcy in 1998. Britney Spears' assets are listed at $ 60 million ($ 2.7 million in cash and $ 56.4 million in real estate and investments) , a figure described by

as "terribly low", while Taylor Swift or Beyoncé are worth around $ 400 million each.
