BRITNEY Spears' lawyer said the singer got "emotional" when he told her the news her father had finally been suspended from her long-running conservatorship.

"We are in constant communication but I won’t be going into further detail about the matter of the call. Today was a great day for justice.”

During Wednesday's court hearing in Los Angeles, Mathew ripped the singer's dad as "a toxic, abusive alcoholic" and said she's "afraid" of him after 13 years of him having control over her finances and personal life.

Mathew was making the case to have Jamie Spears suspended, while Jamie's lawyer Vivian Thoreen was fighting to have the conservatorship terminated.

During the hearing Mathew said  39, testified that Jamie "abused her, subjected her to cruelty, and cannot bear this toxic presence for a single day more."

Calling out Jamie and his attorney Vivian, Mathew continued: "Giving Thoreen and Spears what they want means: that cruel toxic and abusive man, who is an alcoholic that she is afraid of, remains in her life."

He continued: "James P. Spears must be removed today."

The attorney claimed he did not "have to prove immorality" and "criminal conduct" from Jamie, insisting that he "will answer for the New York Times article."

"The best interests of my client is that man be gone from her life TODAY. Vivian's low shots at my clients choice for conservator of estate- brings her clients credentials at issue."

'ZERO EXPERIENCE'

Mathew added that Jamie has "ZERO experience with anything, business, finance."

The attorney continued: "His experience is in domestic violence orders placed against him by her children and ex spouse."

"You know what really makes my client upset. That her father, who does nothing, isn’t a business or talent manager- who is abusive and cruel and toxic- takes more money from her estate each month than he allows her to have."

 attorney insisted that Jamie "cannot be in her life for another day."

He added that the singer is "pleading" for Jamie to no longer be part of her life.

WHAT BRITNEY WANTS

Mathew argued: "What Britney Spears wants- what she needs is- her father gone today- suspended- out of her life, a temporary conservator appointed for 30-45 days at which point we demand the conservatorship be terminated that day."

Jamie's attorney then stated that if the court grants termination of the conservatorship, Jamie fully intends to comply with all requirements.

She added that he is still Britney’s father and not just her conservator, though Mathew interrupted and said: “It’s about what she wants! Sorry your honor.”

Mathew continued, "Jamie did a 180 and wanted a termination once he saw the discovery provided to his legal team. Basically, he knew he was in trouble and wanted to go out quick and quietly."

Earlier in his argument, Mathew slammed Jamie for “unfathomable” behavior "by eavesdropping and placing recording and monitoring devices to control his daughter."

He also claimed that Jamie wanted a termination instead of a suspension because it would mean he won't have to turn over records as a fiduciary of the estate. Avoiding his "abuses and behavior being exposed."

JAMIE'S SUSPENSION

Shortly after Mathew made his argument, Judge Brenda Penny revealed her decision to have Jamie removed as the singer's conservator.

Speaking in court, Judge Penny said: "Based on what I read in the filings, and I read everything. I do believe the suspension of Jamie Spears is in the best interest of Britney Spears.

"The current situation is unattainable. The court finds the toxic environment Jamie Spears has created needs to be removed today."

Following the judge's decision, a temporary conservator was put in Jamie's place for about a month.

The next hearing will take place on November 12 where the parties will discuss the next steps in the termination of the conservatorship entirely.

Under the conservatorship,  has no legal control over her estate or her assets and the rights were granted to her father and a lawyer 13 years ago.

BRITNEY'S CLAIMS

During a past hearing in June,  made a number of shocking claims regarding the conservatorship.

 gave a sensational testimony in front of a court and pleaded with a judge to end the arrangement, saying it is" doing me way more harm than good."

She told the court she wants to marry her boyfriend , 27, and have a baby, but that the conservatorship won't allow it.

The couple have since become engaged.

 said her silence over the years has mistakenly been interpreted as complicity, stating: "I've lied and told the whole world, 'I'm okay, I'm happy.' I've been in denial, I've been in shock. I am traumatized."

Additionally, Britney claimed nurses watch her every move and she's not allowed to change her clothes in private.

She added her father was controlling and "enjoyed" the power over her.
