Jamie Spears requested to end conservatorship about a week after Britney's lawyer told him to turn over 13 years' worth of documents, new court filings show

• New documents suggest Jamie Spears' reversal on Britney's conservatorship was to protect himself.
• Britney Spears' lawyer Mathew Rosengart said Jamie switched after being asked for documents.

Britney Spears' attorney Mathew Rosengart said Jamie Spears requested to end his daughter's conservatorship over a week after Rosengart requested a sworn deposition and 13 years' worth of documents, according to new court filings.

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

On September 7, Jamie's team asked for the conservatorship to be terminated.

"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 filings, related to a hearing scheduled for November 12 that could determine the outcome of the conservatorship.

"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.

The newest court filing shows a long list of detailed requests for all correspondence related to Britney's conservatorship

The requests from Rosengart in August sought "all documents regarding communications between Mr. Spears and Tri Star," "all documents regarding any agreements between Mr. Spears and Tri Star," "all companies, corporations, or entities through which the Conservatorship Estate of Britney Jean Spears has in any way operated," and "all entities beneficially owned by you and through which you conducted or conduct business or have received any monies as Conservator."

Rosengart also asked in August for documents related to allegations that Britney's security detail planted a listening device in her room at Jamie's request.

Previous court filings from Rosengart suggested a pattern of interest in the way Jamie had managed his daughter's financial estate as conservator and emphasized the money Jamie had received.

"Although it is common for managers, agents, and other industry professionals to receive a percentage of an artists' earnings, Mr. Spears is none of those," Rosengart wrote in a filing in July that Insider reviewed. "He is a conservator and, as a conservator, his role is to be burdened by, rather than benefit from, the conservatorship."

In a filing on September 22, Rosengart said Jamie's "mismanagement of Ms. Spears's estate is evident and ongoing."

Jamie was suspended as the conservator of Britney's financial estate in September

On September 29, Judge Brenda Penny granted Britney's request for her father's immediate suspension from her conservatorship.

Penny was ruling on a petition filed earlier this summer by Rosengart. She described Britney's conservatorship as "untenable."

At the hearing in September, Britney's team said it aimed to have Jamie suspended from the conservatorship first to ensure that an investigation into his tenure could carry on before a termination hearing on November 12.

Rosengart and Jamie's new lawyers did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.

The latest filing reiterated that Rosengart would still seek Jamie's deposition and that Britney would ask to terminate the conservatorship without undergoing a psychological evaluation.

"Ms. Spears has made her wishes known about ending the conservatorship she has endured for so long and she has pleaded with this Court to 'let her have her life back,' without an evaluation, recently attending two Court hearings and asking this Court directly to end the conservatorship," Rosengart wrote. "It is respectfully submitted - with the consent of all parties - that the time has come."
