Dogfight in Court Tomorrow Over Brit

TMZ has learned tomorrow is shaping up to be an all-out war in the Britney Spears conservatorship case. Sources say lawyers for Britney will try to convince the Commissioner that Britney "feels hatred" toward her dad, doesn't trust him and wants him removed as co-conservator.

Here's the way it's gone down this weekend. Yesterday, a lawyer for Trope and Trope (Brit's divorce/custody attorneys) went to UCLA to visit Britney. After being there a short time, one of the staff doctors asked the attorney to leave, because the co-conservators objected to the visit.

Sources say tomorrow, Trope and Trope will appear at the court hearing. Along with attorney Adam Streisand, who specializes in estate law, and ask that both co-conservators be removed. They will argue that the appointment of Jamie in particular is inappropriate given Britney's bitter feelings toward him and that Britney wants him out.

On Friday, the Commish appointed Jamie Spears and attorney Andrew Wallet as co-conservators. Trope lawyers and Streisand will ask that both conservators be replaced.

Sources say the Trope firm will not object to a conservatorship for Britney, but they'll ask that a different conservator be appointed. We're told the Trope lawyers and Streisand have not finalized who they want to replace the current conservators.

483. Trope and Trope is a sleazy law firm. Would an respectable law firm get involved with this -- uh no! Britney is not in her right frae of mind and hasn't been for some time, I don't think she knows how she feels about her parents. If she were rational, she would not apprecite the way thatsum of theart Sam Lutfi talks to any news media that would listen and disparages her family.Trope and Trope siding with Sam Lufi is no suprise - lets not forget that their partner Ron A. Rale represents Howard Stern - Anna Nicole's enabler. Checkout their website and email them your thoughts! Sorrell Trope s nothing more than an advocate for creppy, brain washing freeloading predators and no respectable client should ever use this firm.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jamie and Lynne as they try to heal their daughter and deprogram her, Lufti is noting but a media hungry opportunist. Stay strong Spears family!
