Britney Spears’ father has agreed to step down as the pop star’s conservator.
Court documents say: “Mr. Spears is willing to step down when the time is right, but the transition needs to be orderly and include a resolution of matters pending before the Court.
“In order to reach that result, the Court should encourage all interested parties to meet and confer in order to resolve those pending matters in the best interests of Ms. Spears.”
Britney Spears’ lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, said in a statement: “We are pleased that Mr Spears and his lawyer have today conceded in a filing that he must be removed.
“It is vindication for Britney. We are disappointed, however, by their ongoing shameful and reprehensible attacks on Ms Spears and others.”
