Britney’s Conservatorship Almost Over

Britney Spears will soon be free to lead a frivilous life once more, with rumours surfacing that Daddy-O is set to release her from the binds of her conservatorship.

Sources have revealed that father Jamie Spears will soon ask the court to “review the terms” of the conservatorship after Spears worldwide Circus concert tour ends in November.

While Mr. Spears has no say on whether or not the conservatorship should be ended, he can ask for a review, which will them prompt the judge to re-evaluate his decision to place the pop singer under such strict parental and financial care.

Spears has been under the care of her father since he first took control of her estate and person in February 2008, after Britney’s multiple admissions into the psych ward at Cedars Sinai Medical Centre.

Britney Under Permanent Conservatorship

Britney Spears’ finanicial and career opportunities are now under the permanent control of her father.

The singer’s lawyers just asked the court commissioner to make her conservatorship permanent, to put a stop to the regular court appearances they’d been forced to attend in order to extend the period of control — and the judge granted the request!

The commissioner said: “The conservatorship is necessary and appropriate for the complexity of financial and business entities and [Britney] being susceptible to undue influence.”

Now, Brit’s lawyers believe it will be easier for the Toxic singer to regain custody of her children, Sean Preston and Jayden James.

Of course, just because they have “permanent” control, doesn’t mean they always will. Brit’s minders were adamant that they would release their hold on her assets as soon as the singer was deemed “well” enough to handle her own finances.

Britney’s Dad Breaks His Silence

Britney Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, has spoken out about his struggle to re-gain control in her life for the first time since taking over as her conservator in February.

Spears have kept no secrets, speaking candidly about the custody battle, what he thinks of Britney’s ex, Kevin Federline, and how his relationship with his daughter is today.

“We’ve grown a lot,” Mr. Spears told OK! magazine. “I’ve been able to come back into my daughter’s life, and that was an adjustment anyway, because I’m an alcoholic and it’s the first time we’ve really been able to share.”

On the custody battle: “It made no sense for that trial to proceed so we worked out an agreement. The agreement says that on Oct. 1 we’ll probably get another overnight, and that will stay in place until the end of the year or the end of the conservatorship.”

On Kevin Federline: “Kevin has a wonderful heart. I don’t agree with giving him more money… He wants them to raise these kids together. Kevin’s heart is right.”

On the conservatorship: “I would hope that it stands until the end of the year, and then we’ll sit back and evaluate where we are at the time, where Britney is at that time.”

Jamie added that while the taking over of the conservatorship by her father was a “major adjustment” for Britney, it’s been a blessing in disguise, and has given them both a second chance to grow together and re-build their father-daughter relationship.

“It’s wonderful. It’s new for both of us,” he said. “She sometimes calls me 50 times a day and asks me things that light my life up. But, like all daughters, she is very manipulative and cunning. So she gets what she wants a lot.

“I do understand that my baby made this monster,” he added. “But when she was down, people took advantage.”

Britney Under Father’s Control Until ‘09

The ruling is in: Britney Spears’ father, Jamie, will retain conservatorship of the singer’s finances and her estate until December 31, the L.A. Superior Court decided in a hearing on Thursday.

Commissioner Reva Goetz said after the hearing, “Ms. Spears is reluctantly agreeing to extend the temporary [conservatorship].”

However, the commissioner was quick to point out that Mr. Spears’ conservatorship could be “terminated earlier” if needed. A status hearing has been set for October 28, at which point, if the court deems Brit Brit well enough to handle her own affairs, a termination of her father’s control would be undetaken.

Jamie Spears and his attorney, Andrew Wallet, have been in control of the Toxic singer’s estate and finances since February, after Spears was hospitalised for a second time with a bipolar attack.
