Britney Spears‘ lawyer is willing to play along in order to depose her father Jamie Spears, even if he has to travel to Louisiana to do it.
Mathew Rosengart, the attorney for the 40-year-old pop superstar, said in court documents obtained Wednesday by TMZ that he’s willing to fly to Jamie’s hometown in order to depose him.
Britney’s 69-year-old father, who previously ran her now-defunct conservatorship, has been keeping a low profile in Kentwood, Louisiana, in recent months, but the distance doesn’t seem to be an obstacle for his daughter’s legal team.

Rosengart wrote in the court filing that Jamie has been avoiding the deposition for five months now, so he’s willing to travel to wrap it up and get him under oath and on the record.
The lawyer added that he believed he could prove that Britney’s father had been in charge of ‘a corrupted and conflicted conservatorship that stripped his daughter of certain fundamental liberties.’
He also claimed that her father had lined his pockets with $6.3 million dollars while paying other people millions more from the conservatorships coffers.
Rosengart added that Jamie ‘continues to harass and bully Britney Spears by, among other things, failing to cooperate with his discovery … and actually noticing his daughter’s deposition, even as he hides from answering essential deposition questions.’

Although he told the court that he was willing to fly to meet Jamie to put him under oath, Rosengart added in his filing that he would be willing to travel anywhere else in the US to question Jamie.
Back in January, Jamie’s lawyer Alex Weingarten emailed Rosengart expressing an intent to depose Britney, according to TMZ.
At the time, Weingarten said that Jamie would also be willing to sit down for a deposition just before Britney did, though there doesn’t appear to be any progress made on getting either family member under oath.
