Britney Spears's fight to end custody that has controlled her life will return to court today, in a hearing that could totally change the case.
In a rare testimony last month, the singer said custody had been "abusive" and for the first time called for a public termination of the legal agreement that gave her father and other people control over her personal life and career. for 13 years.
What happened next caused a great deal of unrest over the case that had been kept secret for years: Britney's lawyer, Samuel D Ingham, demanded his resignation; the asset management firm, Bessemer Trust, withdrew from asset supervision; the long-time manager retired; her father, Jamie Spears, asked the court to investigate the singer's allegations; the lawyers involved in this case have debated fiercely in litigation.
Doubtful is whether Britney will be able to hire a lawyer. Ingham, her attorney, has faced a tough investigation after Spears told the court she did not know she could make the claim to end custody. Records have shown that Spears has for years challenged custody, but Ingham, who has been paid millions from her fortune, has never made a claim to end it.
Ingham was appointed by the court when he was first placed in custody in 2008.
The New York Times reports that Spears has been in contact with Mathew Rosengart, a Hollywood lawyer and former federal prosecutor who is expected to attend this week's hearing. Experts say that if Britney manages to hire a lawyer, the matter may change in her favor.
