Britney Spears Settles Lawsuit With Father Over His Legal Bills
HuffPost
The settlement comes more than two years after a judge ended the father's conservatorship over the pop star.
Britney Spears has reached a settlement with her father, Jamie Spears, regarding the payment of his legal fees, court documents filed Thursday show.
The settlement was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court but did not disclose any of the terms of the agreement over the pair’s ongoing legal dispute, TMZ and The New York Times reported Friday.
Though the court terminated the pop star’s 13-year conservatorship in late 2021, ending her father’s control over all of her personal and financial dealings, the two have been engaged in a legal dispute over Jamie Spears’ demands that his daughter cover about $2 million worth of his legal fees.
In statements to the Times, both parties’ lawyers spoke positively of the settlement’s outcome.
“As she desired, her freedom now includes that she will no longer need to attend or be involved with court in this matter,” the singer’s lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, said, adding that his client’s “wish for freedom is now truly complete.”
