Britney Spears objects to father's conservatorship; Jamie Spears due back in court

February 4 2008

Britney SpearsBritney Spears' father, Jamie is due back in court today, after the troubled singer objected to the temporary legal control he was given by the courts Friday.

It is expected that Britney's attorney, Sorrell Trope of the firm Trope and Trope, will argue that Jamie should be removed as co-conservator because his daughter does not trust him.

An insider said that it may be an uphill battle for Trope "because what child does get along with their parents when they are locked in the psych ward?"

Adds the source, "It's going to be hard to convince the court that Britney can be taken seriously given the state that she's in."

At Friday's hearing, estranged father Jamie won temporary legal control over his daughter. He also has full control of her residence and can legally remove anyone who is staying there. A lawyer named Andrew Wallet was named co-conservator. A court creates a conservatorship when it concludes a person no longer can care for themselves or their personal and financial affairs.

Today's hearing comes on the heels of that the singer's stay at UCLA Medical Center has been extended by 14 days.

I hope, for Britney's sake,

I hope, for Britney's sake, they keep Dad as her keeper. If they don't, WHO will take care of her when she gets out? The guy with the restraining order against him? She needs somebody in her corner right now who only has her whole best interests in heart and mind and that is her Dad.
