The pop star’s attorney Mathew Rosengart is aiming to aggressively investigate alleged abuse and financial mismanagement — the question is how far Spears wants to take the battle against her family.

A Jan. 19 hearing is scheduled to address the pending 12th accounting, a typically routine annual proceeding during which the court reviews expenses tied to the conservatorship and determines whether they should be approved. It’s not a rubber stamp by any means, but probate litigators say courts tend to be deferential to professionals and ensure they get paid reasonable fees for the work they’ve done.

“All of their bills are contingent on court approval,” says Vatche Zetjian of Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell, an attorney who specializes in estate, trust and probate law. “Generally speaking, courts don’t want to be denying fees and creating disincentives for qualified professionals taking conservatorships.”Jamie Spears, through his attorneys, has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and insists that any actions he took were within his authority as conservator of her estate.

Also currently at issue are fees charged after that pending accounting period by law firms that represented Jamie and Lynne Spears, which total more than $2 million, as well as compensation that Jamie is requesting for his work as conservator of Britney’s estate. In a March 26 filing, he asked for “$16,000 monthly plus $2,000 monthly for the cost of an office space in a secure location that is dedicated to Ms. Spears’ activities” for his services from Nov. 1, 2019, through Feb. 28, 2021.

Generally, once an accounting is approved, it’s nearly impossible to challenge financial decisions made during that time period, as they’ve already been formally blessed by the court. But Kanin notes that

Maybe she'll finally be free of leeches like you who thrive off the lives of others.

She looks so much older than she is, thanks to the stress and bullshit she’s had to deal with. Nobody can erase her last few years of being a fkn prisoner. 💔

Toxic (britney's version)

Đôi khi không phải cứ cố gắng thay đổi mình vì mong muốn của ai đó là sẽ giữ được người ấy.

It would be less stressful for her if she would just take her money and run away instead of spending it on a team of lawyers.

Can’t wait for the “revenge show” to start!
