Spears would be one step away from having no legal guardian 0:46
(CNN) -
The guardianship of Britney Spears' estate, which was ordered by a court 13 years ago, could finally end this Friday.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny is expected to respond to Spears' request to terminate her guardianship during an afternoon court hearing.
The court date comes just over a month since Spears's father, Jamie Spears, was suspended as guardian of his daughter's estate.
A position he had held since the deal was first put in place in 2009.
"This week is going to be very interesting for me! I have not prayed for anything else in my life," the singer wrote in an Instagram post earlier this week that was deleted.

However, even if Spears' request to end the guardianship is granted, her attorney, Mathew Rosengart, has said that her legal battle will continue.
Rosengart filed a 110-page petition last month requesting that his father be removed from office, as well as requesting a discovery related to his client's alleged surveillance.

that the Grammy winner's father illegally placed recording devices in her bedroom without her consent.
CNN has not been able to independently confirm these allegations.
A lawyer for Spears' father has denied it.

Last week, a new attorney for Jamie Spears, Alex Weingarten, requested to terminate the guardianship without further financial compensation to the singer's father.
"Jamie sees no reason why the guardianship should continue for a period of time and states that he has no interest in the continuation of the guardianship," the documents said.
"To be clear, this request is not subject to any qualifications. Jamie does not make this request subject to a claim for release or compensation, it is unconditional."
During the summer, the singer spoke publicly for the first time about her guardianship, telling the court that the arrangement was "abusive."
The pop star also said that over the years she felt compelled to act, use birth control and take medication against her will.

"I just want my life back. It's been 13 years and that's enough," he told a hearing in June.
Spears is anticipated to attend the hearing virtually, while hundreds of the singer's supporters are expected to hold an out-of-court rally during the hearing, the same group of fans that made the #FreeBritney hashtag a viral move.
Spears has thanked her followers in recent posts on social media.
After her father's suspension, she tweeted: "#FreeBritney movement ... I have no words ... for you and your constant resistance to free me from my tutelage ... my life is now going in that direction !! !!! ".
