Earlier, during a hearing in a Los Angeles court, a judge approved Spears' choice of her new attorney, Mathew Rosengart, a former federal prosecutor who has represented several Hollywood celebrities.
Speaking after the hearing, Spears reiterated her intention to end her 13-year conservatorship and revealed that she wants her father prosecuted.
"If the court doesn't see this as abuse... I don't know what is," the singer said, talking about an "abusive" and "cruel" conservatorship that, according to her, "has allowed my dad to ruin my life".
Her new lawyer argued that the father, Jamie Spears, must step aside from the custody.
"The question remains, why is he involved,'' Rosengart said outside the courthouse.
The #FreeBritney social group, with fans supporting the singer's struggle against her conservatorship, garnered attention from prominent media and political figures. The new round of the viral meme was fueled after an emotional speech in court several weeks ago when Spears slammed her custody as "abusive" and linked it to "sex trafficking".
