Britney Spears' dad stepping down as her conservator

Jamie Spears, Britney Spears' father, has agreed to step down as her conservator, according to documents filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court Thursday, NPR reports. The documents state that there are "no actual grounds for suspending or removing him under Probate Code section 2650" but that he has chosen to step down because of the "public battle with his daughter". The language of the documents also appears to question pop star's stability - "it is highly debatable whether a change in conservator at this time would be in Ms. Spears' best interests".
