In a significant setback for Britney Spears<\/a>, Jamie Spears remains in control of his daughter\u2019s finances as part of her decade-plus long conservatorship<\/a>. On Wednesday, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge denied<\/a> Britney\u2019s request to have her father removed from the legal arrangement that has been the focus of so much media attention in recent months.<\/p>\n

The news comes a week after Britney appeared before another LA Superior Court judge, reading a bombshell statement<\/a> that shed new light on the affect the conservatorship has had on her life for the past 13 years. But Wednesday\u2019s decision was not in direct response to that most recent court appearance, in which the pop star described being exploited and bullied in shocking ways. The request being denied was filed by Britney\u2019s court-appointed attorney Samuel Ingham III back in November<\/a> in an effort to add Bessemer Trust as a co-conservator<\/a> overseeing the singer\u2019s finances.<\/p>\n

\u201cWednesday\u2019s court filing states that the court found Spears to be \u2018substantially unable to manage his or her financial resources or to resist fraud or undue influence,\u2019\u201d Variety <\/em>reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After Britney\u2019s court appearance last week, Jamie Spears called for an investigation<\/a> into his daughter\u2019s claims, which included being forced to tour and take medication against her will, and not being allowed to have her IUD removed.<\/p>\n

Another hearing is scheduled for July 14, at which point it is expected that Britney may petition the court to end the conservatorship, full stop. As has been reported, the singer was apparently unaware until recently that this was even a possibility. \u201cI didn\u2019t know I could petition the conservatorship to end it. I\u2019m sorry for my ignorance, but I honestly didn\u2019t know that,\u201d she said at last week\u2019s appearance in court.<\/p>\n
