James Spears filed his petition to terminate the conservatorship in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Judge Brenda Penny, who oversees the case, will need to approve the move.
Britney Spears attorney Matthew Rosengart said in an email the filing "represents another legal victory for Britney Spears – a massive one – as well as vindication for Ms. Spears."
James Spears had been the target of much of the anger surrounding the conservatorship from both his daughter and the public.
A petition from Britney Spears' attorney to remove him was to be heard at the next hearing in the case on Sept. 29.
The conservatorship was established in 2008 when the singer began to have very public mental struggles as media outlets obsessed over each moment, hordes of paparazzi aggressively followed her everywhere, and she lost custody of her children.
