Britney Spears said in a court filing Wednesday that she agrees with her father that the conservatorship that has controlled her life and money since 2008 should be terminated.

The filing in Los Angeles Superior Court from Spears鈥� attorney Mathew Rosengart says she 鈥渇ully consents鈥� to 鈥渆xpeditiously鈥� ending the conservatorship, which , who has controlled it for most of its 13 years, asked for in a Sept. 7 petition.

It鈥檚 the first time Britney Spears has called for an end to the arrangement in court documents, though she has called for its termination in hearings.

Her filing emphasizes, however, that it is more important to her that her father be removed, calling it 鈥渁 necessary first 鈥� and substantial 鈥� step towards Ms. Spears鈥檚 freedom and ending the Kafkaesque nightmare imposed upon her by her father, so that her dignity and basic liberties can be restored.鈥�

It is urgent that James Spears be suspended from his role of conservator of Britney Spears鈥� finances by Sept. 29, the next hearing date in the case, the filing says.

鈥淢r. Spears cannot be permitted to hold a position of control over his daughter for another day,鈥� the document says.

The documents also reveal that Britney Spears is in the process of putting together a pre-nuptial agreement after getting earlier this month. That process will mean the intensive involvement of the conservator of her money, a role her father can鈥檛 be permitted to play, the filing says.

The flurry of major filings means that next week鈥檚 hearing could be pivotal.

Judge Brenda Penny, who has remained largely neutral in her oversight of the case, will be pressed to decide whether to remove James Spears or to put the conservatorship on a path to termination.

James Spears stepped aside as conservator of his daughter鈥檚 person in 2019, maintaining only his role as conservator of her money. He and his attorneys have said that renders many of his daughter鈥檚 complaints about his control meaningless.

Jodi Montgomery, a court-appointed professional, now acts as conservator of Britney Spears鈥� person. Wednesday鈥檚 filing from Britney Spears says Montgomery also consents to ending the conservatorship,

Spears had said in a dramatic June 23 speech in court that gave a jolt to the case and galvanized support for her that she was being compelled under the conservatorship to take certain medications and to use an intrauterine device for birth control against her will.

James Spears has denied acting in anything but his daughter鈥檚 best interest, and has declined demands that he resign immediately, though he said in court documents that he does have a plan to .

But in a major reversal and possibly strategic move, he said in his Sept. 7 filing that if she 鈥渨ants to terminate the conservatorship and believes that she can handle her own life, Mr. Spears believes that she should get that chance.鈥�

to keep the focus on James Spears removal since his hiring in July, and says he will pursue an investigation of his handling of the conservatorship even after any removal.

The when Britney Spears鈥� began to have very public mental struggles as media outlets obsessed over each moment, hordes of paparazzi aggressively followed her everywhere, and she lost custody of her children.
