October 29, 2008 Britney Spears’ Dad Granted Legal Control!
Britney Spears no longer has control over her affairs anymore, not since her father was granted permanent legal control. That means for the rest of her life, she is going to have to go through him for any kind of major finance or business affairs.
“The conservatorship is necessary and appropriate for the complexity of financial and business entities and her being susceptible to undue influence,” [according to the commissioner] TMZ
At first I didn’t think this was the right choice, but now I do. Instead of the commissioner having to keep issuing out temporary control to Britney’s father, they gave him permanent control just until she has the health and mental capability to take control back. How do you feel about this?

Conservatorships are not what they’re cracked up to be and while on the surface it seems good I really feel for her. Having someone have TOTAL control over your affairs with THIER final decision being law is not good. Trust me on this.
As far as her song being successful it has nothing to do with her father being her conservator and everything to do with the label getting her the right material to record which has for the majority of her career not been much of a problem.

Since her father has been in control of her affairs Britney has come out of that tailspin distruction that she was putting herself into. So, I say keep him around for as long as necessary until she can be completely on her feet again. Keep up the good work Britney!! We are all happy that you are back on the music scene.

i think it was a very good idea. every since he stepped into the picture she’s been getting everything back in order. i personally think he’s always been more interested in her well-being unlike her mom. not saying her mom doesn’t care but imo she’s more about money than anything (i.e. writing that book. instead of writing a fucking book and capitalizing off dirty laundry help your kids get back on their paths, ya know?) plus, with him having control it will help her get her kids back from that asshole as opposed to her trying to do it on her own.
i love brit brit

I Overstand that she is a woman but I’m glad he did… Where is “Amy Winehouse” father he needs to call Brit’s Dad.
Because that Chic needs Rehab and Food-hab

Isn’t “amazing” what happens when Men decide to be Fathers in their children’s lives? Kudos to Mr. Spears!!! For a while it seemed that Brit was craving for a dominant male role in her life. It has nothing to do with “control”, it has alot to do when a “parent is a parent” and not their child’s “friend or baby’s mama money bank”! I do hope that Lindsey, Amy, & all other wild childrens’ fathers become apart of their lives!

I think its a great decision. Even though his conservatorship is “permanent” it’s not forever. They just use permanent so they don’t have to go back t court ever 3-6 months. I think a lot of people are going to misunderstand this decision and say “o, she’s stil crazy” or “she can’t take care of herself”, but it’s a great decision on her part (she had the option to argue the continuation of her father’s control) for 2 reasons. 1. being it gives her a better chance to regain custody of her children and 2. if she does suffer from a mental illness, like many speculate, she’s aware that she still needs help, support and guidance, which is a very mature decision.

yellowfeaver, let me clarify something for you when they use permanent they mean it. That means if her father were to die tomorrow the conservatorship doesn’t end but goes to someone else usually another conservator established by the court. This conservatorship can go on until she’s well into her 80’s. It can only be turned around unless a Judge deems it so and getting out of it when you ahve assets can be a nightmare. The conservatorship can actually hurt her chances with her children. If she can’t be shown to care for herself (which is how one is seen when under a conservatorship despite what may be the contrary) how can she care for her children is what a lawyer can say. I really wish people understood the shadiness that is occuring in the court systems with conservatorships (not guarianships which are vastly different). This is not good for Britney but I’ll pray for her.
