Jamie Spears Granted Change In Conservatorship Over Britney

The following italicized article is taken from www.usmagazine.com:

Britney Spears' father and coconservator, Jamie, was granted a change in the rules concerning his decision-making power over her medical, financial, and legal matters, a LA Superior Court judge decided Thursday afternoon.

Attorneys for both sides met with the judge behind closed doors. It is unclear what was decided or discussed.

Jamie and attorney Andrew Wallet were named co-conservators of Britney's legal, medical, and financial decisions on Friday.

The court's decision to put them in charge was the worst-case scenario for Britney, sources told Us, as she has never been close to her father (who battled alcohol abuse during her childhood and was verbally abusive).

Neither Britney nor her father, Jamie, was in attendance at today's court hearing. Jamie's attorneys, Vivian Lee and Jeryll Cohen, were arguing for him, while Samuel Ingham, a court-appointed counsel, represented Britney. Wallet was also in court.

Britney was released from the UCLA Medical Center yesterday after a week of treatment. She had been expected to remain hospitalized for another 10 days.

The singer was involuntarily committed to treatment for bipolar disorder on January 31.
