Britney Spears settles legal dispute with estranged father over conservatorship

Singer’s attorney says agreement gives his client the ‘freedom’ that ‘she desired’

Britney Spears and her estranged father have agreed to settle a legal dispute that continued between them even though it had been more than two years since a court had terminated the conservatorship that put him in control of the US pop star’s life.

Terms of the settlement between the singer of chart-topping hit Womanizer and Jamie Spears weren’t disclosed in statements that their attorneys distributed to media outlets on Friday.
