Spears's dad retains control of her affairs

Britney Spears's father has retained control of his daughter's affairs, reports Reuters.

Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz ordered Jamie Spears and Britney's lawyer Samuel Ingham to keep responsibility of her financial and personal affairs until the end of the year.

"It is my understanding that Ms. Spears is reluctantly agreeing that we extend the temporary letters [of conservatorship]," said Goetz in the ruling.

Additionally, a restraining order against Spears's former manager Sam Lutfi has been lifted. However, Ingham said that the popstar has no desire to see him.

"Britney has made clear to everyone that she does not want to be further harassed or contacted in any way by Osama 'Sam' Lutfi," his statement said.

The conservatorship was established earlier in the year after Spears was hospitalised when it became apparent that her mental health was deteriorating.
