Britney Spears’ lawyer has filed a supplemental motion in the case regarding her father’s conservatorship over the American pop singer. In the supplemental motion, the singer’s attorney, Mathew Rosengart, has asked the court for the immediate suspension of Britney’s father, Jamie Spears no later than this week’s hearing on September 29.

The New York Times documentary also revealed that Britney’s text messages and other data from her phone were also passed to her father.
