New documents suggest that Jamie Spears’ sudden reversal on the conservatorship was to protect himself.
According to Britney Spears’ lawyer Mathew Rosengart, Jamie switched after being asked for documents.
Just over a week passed between when the papers were served, and when the reversal happened.

Britney Spears’ attorney Mathew Rosengart revealed that Jamie Spears requested to end the conservatorship just over a week after Rosengart requested a sworn deposition and 13 years’ worth of documents from Jamie Spears, according to new court filings.

The new documents, originally submitted on October 27 but made public on Monday, revealed that on August 25, Jamie Spears and his legal team were served a request for a sworn deposition as well as a discovery request for Jamie to turn over all communications and payments related to the 13-year conservatorship.

On September 7, Jamie Spears’ team asked for the conservatorship to be outright terminated, days after Rosengart filed the documents in court.

“Further, Mr. Spears’s September 7, 2021, Verified Termination Petition advocates that ‘recently things have changed,’ and that ‘[i]f Ms. Spears wants to terminate the conservatorship and believes that she can handle her own life, Mr. Spears believes that she should get that chance,'” Rosengart wrote in the latest documents.

“Mr. Spears’s reversal was motivated by a desire to bolster his reputation or to avoid his deposition or responding to the outstanding discovery served on him in August,” he added in the document, related to Britney Spears’ November 12 hearing, which could determine the outcome of the conservatorship.
