Britney Spears is free of the legal guardianship to which she was subjected, after a judge ruled in favor of its termination this Friday, ending the agreement to which she was subjected for 13 years, by which the pop star was prevented from make your own personal and financial decisions.

Britney Spears informally asked the court in June to end her guardianship in unusual and dramatic testimony, during which she described her situation as abusive and traumatizing.

His attorney, Mathew Rosengart, filed his official termination request in late October, a month after his father, James 'Jamie' Spears, was suspended as guardian.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny ruled in favor of Spears' petition and also requested that the singer be released from guardianship without requiring further mental health evaluations.

Jamie Spears, the singer's father, filed an application in September to end the guardianship after Rosengart asked the court to remove him from the case.

Rosengart accused Jamie Spears of getting rich off his daughter and misusing his finances while serving as her legal guardian for the past 13 years.

Judge Penny ruled in favor of suspending Jamie Spears and replacing him with a temporary guardian, on the understanding that the artist's attorney would file a request to terminate that guardianship within 30 to 45 days.

When Rosengart anticipated in September that the guardianship would end at the November 12 hearing, Spears fans began yelling "released at 40," referencing the singer's 40th birthday next month.

Britney Spears also made very serious allegations during her testimony on June 23 that raised public concern, including that she had been denied the right to remove her IUD to have more children and the fact that her father forced her into a hospital. $ 60,000 a month treatment center.

I have done nothing in the world to deserve this treatment.

It's not okay to force myself to do something I don't want to do "

At the next hearing, she told the judge that she was "extremely scared" of her father and that she wanted to report him for abuse.

Britney Spears accused her family of not being supportive enough and said her father enjoyed having power over her and restricted him from viewing his children as a means of coercion.

Representatives for Jamie Spears have repeatedly denied the abuse allegations.

Until her testimony on June 23, Britney Spears had been relatively quiet about her own case.

She explained to the court, and later to her followers, that she had been publicly pretending to be happy while feeling miserable in her private life.

She told Penny that she felt silenced for years by the people around her and that she wanted to finally tell the world what she has experienced rather than letting others speak for her.

This Friday, Britney Spears shared a message on Twitter celebrating her release and thanking those who have supported her: "OMG I love my fans so much it's crazy! I think I'm going to cry for the rest of the day! The best day in my life ... praise the Lord ... can I receive an amen? "
