BREAKING NEWS: Britney Spears’ court-appointed attorney resigns after failing to file paperwork to end conservatorship

Britney Spears’ court-appointed attorney Sam Ingham will resign on Tuesday after after failing to file the paperwork required to end the conservatorship held over her by her father.  

Ingham had been appointed to represent Britney in the ongoing legal saga against her father, Jamie, who has held control of her finances and medical decisions since 2008.

TMZ reports that he is stepping down and will file paperwork later today. 

She has been fighting to free herself from the complex legal framework for years but has been left dumbfounded by Ingham’s lack of action.

Britney Spears’ court-appointed attorney Sam Ingham has resigned after failing to file the paperwork required to end the conservatorship held over her by her father.

In order for a judge to rid Britney of the conservatorship, a request for it to be terminated must be filed. 

Ingham never filed such a request and for weeks, he has ignored questions from the world’s media and Britney’s fans as to why. 

It’s now unclear who will represent the star. 

On Tuesday, Britney’s long-time manager also resigned, saying he no longer needed to be kept on the payroll because she wants to retire. 

He wrote a letter to the court to say while he hadn’t spoken to her for two years, he’d learned that she had been expressing a desire to other people to stop working.
