An attorney for Britney Spears on Monday asked a Los Angeles court to remove her father as conservator of her roughly $60m estate following the pop singer's allegations that he had used the arrangement to mistreat her.

Mathew Rosengart, newly appointed as the performer's personal legal representative, requested in legal filings that the court replace Jamie Spears with certified public accountant Jason Rubin as the overseer of the singer's finances.
