According to Britney Spears‘ lawyer, there’s no such thing as being overprotected.
In the wake of the news that the pop star and her husband Sam Asghari have broken up after just over a year of marriage, questions about what will happen between the couple can be put to bed. In fact, her attorney made sure if they were to split, a plan would be in place.
In legal Sept. 2021 filings regarding the end to Britney’s conservatorship, and the removal of her father Jamie Spears as conservator, the 41-year-old’s legal team cited her getting engaged that month and the resultant prenup as a reason to expedite Mr. Spears’ removal from the conservatorship.
“To all the reasons why immediate suspension always has been required, we now can add another essential one: as has been publicly reported, Ms. Spears recently became engaged,” her lawyers said in the court documents obtained by E! News at the time. “With Ms. Spears’s consent and pursuant to her instructions, Ms. Spears and the undersigned counsel are in the process of engaging a family law attorney to craft a prenuptial agreement.”
