Los Angeles, Sep 30 (AP) A judge has suspended Britney Spears' father from the conservatorship that has controlled the singer's life and money for 13 years.

Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny agreed with a petition from Spears and her attorney, Mathew Rosengart, that James Spears needs to give up his role as conservator. The move is a major victory for the singer, who pleaded in dramatic hearings in June and July that her father needed to be out.
