Britney Spears has been under a conservatorship in the care of her father, Jamie Spears, for about 11 years now — but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, coming from perhaps one of the most unlikely places!
Sources connected with the singer now believe one man could be key in making a move to get Jamie ousted from Britney’s control: Kevin Federline. That’s right! Brit’s baby daddy could have some legal leverage here after Jamie’s alleged incident with the ex-couple’s 13-year-old son Sean.

According to sources inside the Spears camp, they believe Kevin might have the leverage to go to the judge overseeing the conservatorship and ask to have Jamie removed. Part of Jamie’s role is to oversee the welfare of his daughter’s two children — since he’s directly in charge of their mother — and if he’s now prohibited from having any contact with the kids while being investigated for the alleged abuse of one of them, well… you see the angle here!
It’s an interesting one, for sure. As we’ve been reporting, Jamie is under investigation after allegedly breaking a door down and putting his hands on Sean. As part of the aftermath of that, he’s already been served a temporary restraining order preventing any contact between him and Sean, or Britney’s other son, Jayden. The alleged activities of the last few days have reportedly put Jamie’s conservatorship control at risk, in the first place — so this might be an opening for Kevin to strike on behalf of Brit and the kids.
Kevin’s consistency may help him with that, too.
We know the singer’s ex has seen his parental custody quickly increased to as high as 90% of the time immediately after Jamie’s alleged behavior against the pop star’s children. In the judge’s eyes, Kevin has consistently been seen as a reliable and dependable parent — and TMZ reports sources connected to the situation believe that may now work in his favor, if he were to play some cards to get Jamie ousted from controlling the pop star’s life.
Still, it’s sort of a long shot in a few ways; some insiders believe Jamie to be secure in his role as conservator simply because there’s no one else who can really handle it. The Baby One More Time singer’s mom, Lynne, had shown some interest at one point earlier this year as she rekindled her relationship with her daughter, but she’s since fallen back into the background again.

Not to mention the fact that, at least in the past, Jamie has been pretty good at the job. He took over and really righted the ship for Britney when things were bad more than a decade ago, and insiders say the pop princess is now “flush with cash,” along with having partial custody of her children again. The judge won’t take that lightly. Plus, as one source reportedly put it, “Jamie certainly has his flaws, but everyone knows he’s done a good job and there’s no one else who can do it.”
Hmmm… not exactly the most ringing endorsement of Jamie there, but it may also be the most realistic perspective on this entire, messy situation.
What do U think, Perezcious readers?! Does K-Fed have enough leverage to change the course of the conservatorship here? Should he even consider doing something like that?? So much Spears family drama…
