Britney Spears

Britney Spears' attorney, Mathew Rosengart, has filed objections to Lynne Spears' request that the pop star pay her mother's legal fees.

Also still up in the air is the ongoing and contentious court proceedings between the pop star and her father regarding his legal fees, accusations of eavesdropping and other alleged improper behavior. Rosengart writes that Spears’ father’s “financial condition was so dire in 2008″ that he borrowed “at least $40,000” from the star’s eventual business manager, Tri Star Sports & Entertainment, which he ended up hiring to oversee his daughter’s financial affairs, around the same time that he placed her under a conservatorship. After her testimony, she was granted the ability to bring on her own counsel, which is when she hired Rosengart, a former federal prosecutor and high-powered Hollywood attorney. At the time, the singer denied that her mother was a positive force behind the scenes. On Wednesday, the judge made no decision regarding Lynne Spears’ legal fees. The singer’s attorney, Mathew Rosengart, filed new court documents ahead of a Wednesday hearing — where no decision was made — asking a judge to deny Lynne Spears’ petition for her famous daughter to foot her hefty legal bills.

Britney Spears is pushing back on a demand by Lynne Spears that the star pay for $660000 in legal fees her mother incurred duringthe conservatorship.

“Lynne and her counsel submit that they have contributed to and achieved Lynne’s mission of breaking the restrictions imposed by the conservatorship.” A new hearing is now scheduled for July. In early November – a week before Britney was formally freed – her mother filed court papers seeking $663,000 in money from the conservatorship to cover her legal fees she had paid out to two law firms.

Britney's lawyer said the fees are "between Lynne Spears and her lawyers, and there is no legal basis for placing Britney Spears in the middle of it."

"If the Petition has a theme, it is that the efforts of Lynne Spears and her counsel 'achieved Lynne's mission,'" the attorneys added in the objection. The conservatorship was officially terminated on November 12. Britney Spears' attorneys wrote that "this is, in effect, an issue between Lynne Spears and her lawyers, and there is no legal basis for placing Britney Spears in the middle of it." On January 19, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny denied a request to create a reserve of funds from Britney Spears' former conservatorship that would be used to pay attorney fees for Jamie Spears and Lynne Spears, and to her former attorney Samuel D. Ingham, III. In November 2021, Lynne Spears filed a petition seeking for Britney Spears to pay $663,202.84 of attorney fees through her and the conservatorship's funds. - Britney Spears' attorneys objected to paying her mother's attorney fees in a new filing.

Lynne hired her lawyers “to help Britney free herself from what she saw as a very controlling existence,” her filing claimed. For her part, Britney has been highly critical of her family, including her mom, in recent months. She highlighted Britney’s “paltry” weekly allowance and the fact that Britney was barred from driving her own car, owning a smart phone or even governing when she spent time with her boyfriend and children. “The petition back in November was filed in good faith,” one of Lynne’s lawyers, Yasha Bronshteyn, argued in response to Rosengart’s objections. “This is exploitative of Britney Spears. She was not under the impression that she would have to pay these legal fees,” Rosengart, a former federal prosecutor, said. Lynne Spears sought the fees in her petition filed just days before the court terminated Britney’s nearly 14-year conservatorship at a high-profile hearing on Nov. 12.

In news that will make her fans sing gimme, gimme more, Britney Spears has confirmed on Instagram she is writing a memoir.

She was never around me much 15 years ago at that time,” wrote Britney, who is 10 years older than her sister, on Twitter. “I have a [IUD] inside of myself right now so I don’t get pregnant. During her 24-minute statement last year, Britney expressed her desire to sue her family for the pain they have caused her. But this so-called team won’t let me go to the doctor to take it out because they don’t want me to have children – any more children,” Britney said in June. Britney held no punches in her many responses to the interview. Earlier that year, The New York Times released the documentary Framing Britney Spears, which traced the singer’s meteoric rise to stardom, her treatment at the hands of the media, her public mental health episode in 2007 and the subsequent conservatorship in 2008.
