On Sept. 29, a judge suspended Britney's father, Jamie Spears, as conservator of Britney's estate, which is a role he has held since the conservatorship began in 2008. Accountant John Zabel is replacing him for the time being. 

In a statement, Jamie's lawyer responded to the ruling by saying the judge "was wrong to suspend Mr. Spears, put a stranger in his place to manage Britney's estate, and extend the very conservatorship that Britney begged the court to terminate earlier this summer." The attorney added that Jamie doesn't support the court's decision but "will continue to look out for the best interests of his daughter and work in good faith towards a positive resolution of all matters."

Meanwhile, Britney's lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, has previously said he is working toward filing a petition to end the conservatorship for good.
