Britney Spears' father has agreed to step down as her conservator, according to TMZ.

Jamie Spears says he “intends to work with the Court and his daughter's new attorney to prepare for an orderly transition to a new conservator”, as reported on Thursday citing new legal documents.

The new documents state in part that “there are, in fact, no actual grounds for suspending or removing Mr. Spears as the conservator of the estate... and it is highly debatable whether a change in conservator at this time would be in Ms. Spears’ best interests,” according to TMZ.

Furthermore, the documents also state, according to TMZ, that “even as Mr. Spears is the unremitting target of unjustified attacks, he does not believe that a public battle with his daughter over his continuing service as her conservator would be in her best interests.” 

Since 2008, Samuel Ingham had been Britney's conservatorship attorney. However, after Britney's criticism of his representation, Ingham stepped down and resigned. Judge Brenda Penny, who is following up with the conservatorship case, allowed Spears to choose her own attorney, which was a step forward in reestablishing Britney's autonomy and rights.

The US Pop Star speaks of wanting to marry and have a child with her boyfriend but lacks the freedom to remove the contraceptive intrauterine device (IUD) as the conservatorship forces her to take birth control pills. In fact, her conservators would not take her to the doctor to remove the IUD in the first place. 

Britney's case is one of many realities of women experiencing systemic discrimination and sexism in the US and around the world.
