Britney Spears has reached an agreement in her legal battle with Jamie Spears, her father. According to the latest information from the specialized portal TMZit is not that Britney will not receive any financial compensation, but that she will also have to be the one to cover her father’s legal bills, which amount to more than two million dollars.
This outcome comes after Mathew S. Rosengart, the singer’s lawyer, assured that they had a well-founded case and that the family patriarch had no chance of being victorious. However, after an extensive and complicated legal process, it has been determined that Britney is responsible for the legal expenses her father incurred during the litigation.
The accusations that had been leveled against Jamie were of mismanagement and embezzlement of his daughter’s considerable assets during the 13 years in which he was her guardian.
The singer was not happy with the result.
The deal was closed discreetly, but sources close to the case have revealed to TMZ that Britney is very angry with the result. The position of her parent has always been that her actions towards her daughter’s money were approved by the judge in the case, arguing that everything was within the law. This point was crucial for the development and resolution of the matter, which was finally decided in Jamie’s favor, which is considered an important victory for him.

On April 25, the Los Angeles Superior Court put an end to this chapter of the Spears’ life, as reported The New York Times. The sentence avoided a trial that could be long and expensive, closing the controversial debate over Jamie Spears’ financial management. This sentence also represents an end to Britney’s fight to separate herself from the legal guardianship that has tied her to her father for more than a decade.
Although Britney Spears must now face this financial burden, her lawyer Rosengart has indicated that the singer has been granted “complete freedom” regarding this legal matter. “She will no longer have to attend or participate in court or be involved in judicial processes related to this case,” the lawyer stated.
