further alleged that Jamie enlisted Spears's household staff to spy on her and report back to him. On August 5, Rosengart filed a petition on an ex parte basis asking the court to expedite the subsequent hearing to August 23, or immediately suspend Jamie from his duties. He also highlighted further instances of racketeering on Jamie's part, namely diverting $300,000 from his daughter's estate to her former business manager Lou Taylor without her consent. On August 6, Jamie filed a petition disputing Rosengart's claims, attributing his daughter's allegations of abuse to her being "mentally sick". Jamie also accused Montgomery and Sam Ingham, of involuntarily admitting Spears into a medical facility in 2019.

On August 20, it was reported that proposed conservator Jason Rubin filed a petition in 2020 to become the guardian of his mother Ida Rubin, despite Ida testifying that she was competent to handle her own affairs. A judge dismissed Jason's petition after a year of litigation, ruling in
