Britney Spears formally requests ending conservatorship while speaking in Los Angeles court

"It's my wish and my dream for all of this to end," Britney Spears said while addressing the judge in a Los Angeles court on Wednesday.

"I want to end the conservatorship without being evaluated," she continued, referring to the legal guardianship that put Spear's state, financial assets, and some personal assets under the control of her father and the Bessemer Trust.

In March, Spears' father Jamie said he's not "the perfect dad," but everything he's done was in the singer's "best interest."

"[Jamie] would love nothing more than to see Britney not need a conservatorship," his lawyer Vivian Lee Thoreen told CNN. "Whether or not there is an end to the conservatorship really depends on Britney. If she wants to end her conservatorship, she can file a petition to end it."

There's been renewed interest in Britney's court-ordered conservatorship thanks to the New York Times' "Framing Britney Spears" documentary, which highlighted Britney's wish to remove her father from the conservatorship altogether.

Last year the conservatorship was extended four times, as Insider's Hillary Hoffower reported. Spears requested her father be removed as conservator twice. Both times, she was denied.

Earlier this year, Jamie lost a key battle to have total control over the singer's investments. As reported by Variety in February, Judge Brenda Penny "overruled Jamie Spears' objections to an order establishing Bessemer Trust Co. as a coconservator of daughter Britney Spears' estate."

After that ruling, Britney's lawyer said they recognized that "removal" of Jamie from the conservatorship "is a separate issue." Now Spears is asking for the conservatorship to be ended entirely.
