Britney Spears Refusing To Cough Up $1.1 Million Demanded By Her Dad Jamie For Legal Fees, Questions His Conservatorship Salary

Britney Spears is demanding the court shut down her father Jamie’s request for over a million dollars from her estate.
According to court documents obtained by Radar, the pop star’s lawyer Mathew Rosengart is firing back at Jamie’s request to pay several law firms for work done on the conservatorship.
Earlier this year, Jamie requested $3 million in legal fees but Rosengart appears to be objecting to around $1.1 million of that bill.
The first request Britney objects to $427k Jamie wants to pay the Freeman Firm. He accuses the invoice submitted of improperly charging for overhead and office filing tasks.
Rosengart points out the firm claims $85,783 is owed for their “substantial amount of time organizing, scanning and preparing” the confidential files to be sent to a third party.
He says, “First, files should already have been organized in the ordinary course. This Conservatorship is over a decade old, and the petition provides no explanation for why conservatorship files were apparently so disorganized or why a law firm is required to organize conservatorship files.”
