Britney Spears' father wants the pop star to be questioned under oath.
Jamie Spears filed legal papers this week where he alleged his daughter has been "relentlessly smearing" his name on Instagram and claimed the newly-emancipated star has intentions to "smear him" further in her upcoming memoire.
In documents obtainedby TMZ, the estranged father wants his daughter to be questioned under oath about multiple claims she has made since being free from his powers of conservatorship.
At issue are claims he abused her, stole from her while managing her finances, deprived her of pain medication and ultimately forced the star to give eight vials of blood for a medical treatment.
After the conservatorship was dissolved in November last year, Spears' father asked a judge to compel the pop star to continue paying his legal fees.

At the time the Womanizer singer's lawyer, Mathew Rosengart called the act "shameful" and months later urged him to stop hiding.
Rosengart filed papers last month saying, "Despite his demonstrably false claims that he has 'nothing to hide' and would therefore 'hide nothing', James P Spears has been running and hiding from his deposition and accounting for his misconduct — under oath — as required by law.
"Indeed, while representing that he would 'unconditionally co-operate' and act with 'complete transparency without conditions,' Mr. Spears has engaged in stonewalling and obstruction — for over six months — dodging his deposition and repeatedly failing to respond to simple requests for basic information."
Daily Mail reported the pop icon wrote a lengthy Instagram post where she claimed she was subject to three drug tests per week while under the conservatorship, adding she didn't even drink at her wedding because she "doesn't really" like alcohol now.

She continued, "Meanwhile I heard that my dad would go to bars every night and my brother had his shrimp salad and a Jack and coke every night in Vegas after my show and even sometimes before!"
Spears penned, "Let's talk about it ... is it the powerful feeling dad got my whole life in literally making me feel like absolutely nothing," adding, "I wish I could play that bad girl my family want me to play but honestly ... I'm too old for this s***!"
