The singer's parents successfully applied for the order last Friday, stipulating that Lutfi must stay away from her and have no contact with her for 22 days.
However, he phoned Spears at the UCLA Medical Centre on Sunday and refused to open the door of his home so that lawyers could serve him the order.
The Los Angeles Superior Court is also hearing an application for Spears' father to extend his control over her estate after he and independent lawyer Andrew Wallet were granted temporary conservatorship last Friday.
However, the popstar's new lawyer Adam Streisand - Barbara Streisand’s second cousin - has requested that Jamie Spears be removed as co-conservator, instead asking that Northern Trust Bank and her business manager Howard Grossman be put in charge.
Streisand said Britney's estate is worth $40 million and she has 15 businesses. He also claimed that she is in the middle of a $17 million IRS audit.
Court investigator Sam Ingham claimed that Spears failed to grasp the importance of the battle for control of her affairs when he met with her briefly in hospital.
He told the hearing: “I’ve concluded she [Britney] does not understand these proceedings… nor does she understand the impact of these proceedings on her rights. Britney lacks the capacity to retain information."
