Britney Spears‘ conservatorship under her father, Jamie Spears, appears set to continue unabated after new courthouse developments from this past week begin to come to light on Sunday morning.
Per media reports, Jamie has “withstood a fierce challenge” by ex-wife Lynne Spears, Brit’s mother, in the contentious conservatorship battle over the pop star’s affairs. According to TMZ, a judge sided with Jamie and ordered the dad ought to remain in his role as Brit’s conservator.

Sources with knowledge of what went down this past week say that Lynne made a hard push to oust Jamie as conservator, but the judge summarily rejected her claims, opting to side with the ex-husband and order that he “should” remain in the controlling seat. Lynne, of course, has long been saying her ex is doing a bad job at the helm, ever since the Free Britney movement really launched early last year.
But for Jamie, this means business as usual (no pun intended) in managing Britney’s business affairs, which he will apparently continue to do now after the court decree. As you no doubt remember from our earlier reporting, Jamie has however backed away from the other part of the conservatorship — managing Britney’s medical needs — and a case manager the father hired named Jodi Montgomery will continue to do that until January, when the plan is for the pop star’s dad to re-up in that realm, as well.
But That’s Not All…
There are some other problems here, too, though.
For one, TMZ reports that Britney and Jamie haven’t spoken to each other in more than a month. Yes, part of it is over the incident between Jamie and his grandson, Sean, but several sources are now saying the father and daughter actually weren’t speaking even before that. Tough to manage affairs together if you can’t manage a relationship!
Beyond that, several insiders are keen to note that Britney isn’t doing very well right now, to boot. She’s struggling with the drama surrounding her dad, not only in court here, but also regarding everything that’s been going down between him and her son, Sean.
One source speaking to the outlet summed everything up succinctly and sadly, saying, “she goes through cycles, and hopefully we’re at the bottom now.” Ugh… not good.

Obviously, there’s a lot going on in this family drama and quite a lot at stake — much more than money and assets — so we can only hope that everyone involved continues to do right by Britney and truly do what’s best for her health and mental outlook, conservatorship or not.
