Britney Spears’ court-appointed lawyer, Samuel Ingham III has declared intention to resign from singer Britney Spears’ conservatorship case.
Gatekeepers News reports that Ingham filed documents to resign in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday after Spears’s comments in court decrying the legal arrangement that controls her money and affairs.
Ingham’s resignation would take effect when the court appoints a new lawyer for Spears.
“Samuel D. Ingham III hereby resigns as court-appointed counsel for Britney Jean Spears, conservatee, effective upon the appointment of new court-appointed counsel,” the court filings read.
Gatekeepers News reports that Ingham has been representing Spears for the entirety of her 13-year conservatorship.
In 2008, the court put the arrangement in place, with her father, Jamie Spears, as her sole conservator.
Ingham and Spears’ working relationship came into question last month when the singer gave an explosive testimony, calling her conservatorship “abusive” and addressing the court for the first time ever in her 13-year conservatorship.
She wished the court would allow her to hire a lawyer of her choice.
On Monday, Spears’ longtime manager Larry Rudolph resigned saying he has not been in communication with Spears for over two years and had no involvement with the conservatorship.
