Britney Spears conservatorship battle

Britney Spears conservatorship case has been seeing a lot of shocking and surprising changes. Britney Spears' mother recently filed permission to the court asking them to allow her daughter to choose her own lawyer. This request came after her court-appointed attorney Sam Ingham was asked to resign as Spears' attorney after working as her attorney since the start of her conservatorship 13 years ago. A few days before that, pop singer's manager Larry Rudolph also resigned from his post. In a letter obtained by Deadline, Rudolph wrote that he had not conversed with Britney in over 2 and a half years and at that time Spears notified him that she was going on an indefinite hiatus. His decision of resignation came after Spears gave a thought about officially retiring from the show biz.
