Britney Spears’ mum Lynne objects to Jamie’s ‘improper’ $1.1m lawyer fees

Britney Spears’ mother Lynne has filed court documents against Jamie’s request to receive a staggering amount of money from their daughter’s estate.

Britney Spears’ mother Lynne is objecting to Jamie Spears’ lawyer fees in the conservatorship case with their daughter.

Court documents filed on Monday and obtained by People claim that Lynne, 65, disagrees with Jamie’s four months’ fee of $1.1 million from his law firm Holland & Knight.

Lynne says the fees are both “procedurally and substantively improper.”

She continued in the documents to claim that the law firm requested compensation for services “not performed in good faith for the benefit,” of Britney, 39.

She is also requesting that a portion of those costs – at least $287,000 related to their communication with the press – be “immediately repaid” to Britney’s estate.

The document claims the majority of the firm’s “unnecessary” work largely constituted a “national media tour” to help fight the media’s coverage that cast Jamie Spears, 68, in a negative light.”

The document continued: “[Lynne] vehemently objects to the inclusion of services related to ‘Media Matters:’ the national media tour that Mr. Spears’ counsel has embarked upon,” adding that the work is “directly contrary to [Britney’s] wish for privacy”.

“The Conservatee’s life has been under a media microscope, and the last thing she wishes, desires, or derives any benefit from is her Conservator’s lawyer spending [her] money to promote herself in the same media that scrutinises everything that happens to [Britney],” the document continued.

Lynne Spears also said the number of hours the firm has logged are “utterly excessive for the litigation-related services” that they had completed.

The firm is asking for payment of 628 hours of work, only 385 hours had been previously approved.

Essentially, the firm is asking for $256,000 more than “all of the other law firms combined, “largely for similar work done.”

This development comes only a month after Britney’s lawyer Sam Ingham asked the court to appoint Jodi Montgomery as her permanent conservator, replacing her father.

The petition, which will be addressed during an April 27 hearing, will request to have Ms Montgomery appointed to the permanent conservator of Spears’ person while it remained unclear if the role would also fulfil the needs of her estate.

Only two days ago Britney told fans she would be “taking a break” to enjoy herself.

“Yes, I’m totally fine. I’m extremely happy, I have a beautiful home, beautiful children,” said Britney, who has two sons, Jayden James, 14, and Sean Preston, 15, with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

“I’m taking a break right now because I’m enjoying myself,” she added.
