Britney Spears is pushing to move up the hearing date on the conservatorship that has dictated nearly every aspect of her life for the last 13 years.

Mathew Rosengart, the attorney Spears picked to represent her, filed a motion in Los Angeles probate court on Thursday asking Judge Brenda Penny to advance the next court hearing to Aug. 23 or, at the very least, before Sept. 5.

The hearing on whether Spears father, James Jamie Spears, should remain her conservator is currently scheduled for Sept. 29.

Every day that passes is another day of avoidable harm and prejudice to Ms. Spears and the Estate, the filing read, adding that the pop stars emotional health and well-being must be, and are, the paramount concern.

In short, although a two-month wait for a hearing on the Petition may not seem significant in the context of 13 years, Ms. Spears should not be forced to continue [to] feel traumatized, lose sleep, and suffer further, Rosengart wrote. Every day matters.

Spears, 39, has been trying since last fall to remove her father from the conservatorship in a highly publicized battle. She testified in open court on June 23, denouncing her fathers control over her finances and freedom and the conservatorships dehumanizing restraints on her ability to make her own choices.
