Britney Spears has won the war! Her father, Jamie Spears, has been suspended as the conservator of her estate after 13 years.
The 39-year-old pop star found herself a pit bull lawyer in Mathew Rosengart as he fought fiercely against Jamie's attorney for his client's freedom in a Los Angeles courtroom on Wednesday.
Her handpicked lawyer demanded the judge terminate Britney's decade-long conservatorship and "suspend" Jamie from it immediately.
Rosengart argued that removing her father is in the "best interests" of her safety. He also threw a dig at Jamie, claiming Britney's dad "does nothing" for her.
He didn't just want Jamie suspended today. Britney's attorney also asked for a temporary conservator to be appointed immediately and that her conservatorship comes to a screeching halt within 30-45 days.
The judge appointed John Zabel as Jamie's replacement. He's the man that Britney's dad felt was underqualified for the job. Zabel will remain conservatorship of Britney's estate until December 31.
"Based on what I read in the filings, and I read everything," the judge stated, via The Sun. "I do believe the suspension of Jamie Spears is in the best interest of Britney Spears. The current situation is unattainable."
"The court finds the toxic environment Jamie Spears has created needs to be removed today," she added.
Jamie reportedly wanted to be terminated, but Rosengart said not so fast.
According to Britney's attorney, the reasoning is simple: If Jamie is terminated, he won't be held legally accountable for allegedly recording the Grammy winner without her knowledge.
