The singer's father Jamie, who was made co-conservator of her personal and professional affairs after her breakdown in 2008, will remain in control of his daughter's life for at least another six months.
It was reported earlier this month that Spears was expected to be granted full responsibility for her own life, but the court commissioner decided against it.
It is believed that the popstar will pay her father and a lawyer approximately $16,000 (£10,000) each a month for their roles.
A friend of Spears has previously said that she feels "completely out of it" because everything she does has to be run past her father.
