Jamie Spears, Britney Spears' father, has appealed the Judge's ruling and wants her to have a deposition so she can tell "the whole story" about her time in conservatorship.
Jamie Spears, Britney Spears' estranged father, filed legal filings with the California Court of Appeals on Monday, arguing the court was unfair in requiring him to appear for a deposition but not his daughter.
On July 27, the judge ordered that the 40-year-old Grammy winner would not be disposed of in the conservator abuse case, but that the 70-year-old former building contractor might seek written papers from her.
Jamie Spears' Lawyers Are Pushing Back at Deposition
Britney Spears' attorney, Mathew Rosengart, contended that a deposition may re-traumatize her after effectively ending her 13-year conservatorship under Jamie's authority on November 12.
In documents obtained by TMZ, Jamie's attorney Alex Weingarten stated that "the right to take a deposition may seldom be rejected." The elder Spears feels that if the younger Spears can submit written responses, so should he.
According to the legal documents filed in the California Court of Appeals, Jamie Spears believes it is unfair that only he had to take a deposition when there were two people involved in the case; he believes she should also take a deposition. "The right to take a deposition can rarely be denied. Discovery is a matter of right in California."
Jamie Spears' counsel says that the justification given by the counterpart's attorney, Mathew Rosengart, for her lack of a deposition was insufficient to excuse her from appearing in court, Marca reported.
Britney Spears "Traumatized For Life" After Conservatorship
Meanwhile, Britney Spears' agonizing conservatorship in favor of her father Jamie Spears is finally ended, and what better way to celebrate her comeback than to sing the iconic "Tiny Dancer" with none other than Elton John himself.
Britney Spears posted a video on Instagram saying she hadn't shared her voice in a long time, and the video was of her singing a more fierce rendition of her breakthrough hit, 'Baby One More Time.' "I haven't shared my voice in an extremely long time... may be too long," Britney Spears captioned the video.
Per Daily Mail, Britney Spears' estranged son Jayden Federline celebrated his sweet 16th birthday on Monday, while her estranged son Sean Federline will celebrate his 17th birthday on Wednesday.
In 2019, Britney Spears' ex-husband, Kevin Federline, who earns $20,000 per month in child support, was given 70% custody of his teenage sons, whom he stated "didn't want to see her right now."
The Mississippi-born beauty and her 44-year-old former back-up dancer divorced in July 2017, six months before she was placed on 5150 involuntary psychiatric confinement.
Britney Spears will next appear in Sam Levinson, Reza Fahim, and The Weeknd's six-episode thriller 'The Idol,' which premieres on HBO in November. In February, Spears struck a $15 million agreement with Simon & Schuster to publish her 2023 tell-all memoir, which she finished in July.
