(ANSA) - NEW YORK, NOV 11 - Britney Spears has lost at least temporarily the appeal to "divorce" her "master father" James Spears: a court in Los Angeles has refused to examine the case presented by the thirty-eight-year-old pop star to break the bond that has been a decade subjects his finances and career to paternal decisions.
It is since 2008, after the serious and public nervous breakdown of his daughter (his shaved head photos had gone around the world at the time), that James has become the legal guardian of the singer's entire heritage and career, a role for which he says. is paid around $ 130,000 per year.
The legal term in California is "conservatorship" and various legal experts soon turned up their noses because - opinion also confirmed by the "Los Angeles Times" - this type of protection is generally applied to those with mental disorders or the elderly.
At the last hearing on November 10 in Los Angeles, the Superior Court refused to grant British appeal, although it did not rule out the possibility of doing so in the future.
"My client informed me that she is afraid of her father", Britney's lawyer Samuel D. Ingham told the court: "She told me that she will no longer perform as long as her father has control over her career".
In court documents filed November 3, Britney's attorney argued that the star will suffer "loss and damage" if James is allowed to maintain his position.
Her father's attorney, Vivian Lee Thoreen, in turn claimed that James saved the singer from debt by bringing her net worth back to around $ 60 million: "I don't think there's a shred of evidence to support the suspension."
